Half-Life: Alyx May be Given Away for Free to Steam Frame Owners

Valve has not yet shared a definitive release date or price for Steam Frame. However, new phrases found in Steam’s background code suggest the company is preparing a special Half-Life: Alyx promotion for device owners. The presence of phrases like “Frame Alyx Promo” and “HLAlyxPromoButtons” in the code indicates that the promotion may be directly linked to Steam Frame.

Steam Frame May Arrive with Half-Life: Alyx Promotion

These lines of code strengthen the possibility that Valve is giving away Half-Life: Alyx for free to users who purchase Steam Frame. Since there has been no official announcement, it is not possible to say that the campaign is confirmed. However, the fact that special interface elements have been prepared for the promotion suggests that this may be more than just a simple test.

It’s worth remembering that Valve has used a similar strategy before. Half-Life: Alyx was offered for free with the Valve Index VR headset, and this promotion lasted for a long time. Adopting the same approach for the Steam Frame could allow new device owners to access a powerful VR game from day one.

The release date for the Steam Frame is still unclear. Recent reports suggest it could ship as early as September 14th, but Valve hasn’t confirmed this date. There’s also no official information on pricing yet, and the company continues to reveal launch details.

If Half-Life: Alyx is offered for free with the Steam Frame, this promotion could significantly boost the device’s launch package. However, current information is based only on references found in Steam’s background code. Therefore, until Valve makes an official announcement, the promotion shouldn’t be considered a confirmed offer.
