Half-Life 2 receives Oculus Rift support in latest patch

Now with even more terrifying headcrabs

Oculus Rift promises a richer, more immersive game experience, so pairing it with the monumental Half-Life 2 is a no brainier, right? Valve’s Joe Ludwig has done just that, .

The Oculus Rift beta is currently only available through the beta (Valve’s new content distribution system). Ludwig says the current beta is “a bit more raw than [Team Fortress 2] was when it shipped” in March, citing a dim HUD and a faulty zoom UI. Hopefully these issues will get addressed before Oculus Rift support comes via an official patch in a few weeks.

With Half-Life 2 checked off the Oculus support wishlist, how about getting some cool space sims on boar♌d?
