Half-Life, currently available for free for a limited time, has experienced a remarkable surge in player numbers with Valve's release of a substantial 25th-anniversary update for the iconic FPS. The update includes restored cut content, entirely new multiplayer maps, and a one-hour documentary celebrating the game, marking a significant revival of Half-Life.
For those who haven't added the game to their library yet, there's still time to take advantage of the free offer. Half-Life, a true classic, has witnessed a resurgence in popularity, with many returning to the halls of Black Mesa. Despite its initial release in 1998, Half-Life holds up remarkably well, as evidenced by the substantial increase in player numbers.
Over the past decade, Half-Life maintained an average of around 500 concurrent Steam players. However, with the 25th-anniversary update, the game has reached a new all-time peak, as indicated by modern tracking on SteamDB, boasting around 31,000 players. This represents an estimated average increase of almost 6,000%, underscoring the impact of the update on the game's popularity.
