The new Half-Life game will be released two days later, on Monday, March 23. It's really happening! Valve has started preloading Half-Life: Alyx on Steam.

If you have your VR headset ready to go on Monday, get your preload now and avoid Monday's server overload problem: Half-Life Alyx is 48 gigabytes to download, but you need 67.3 gigabytes of free space on your drive to actually install it. That's a lot of space! For comparison, Half-Life 2 is only 6.4 gigabytes.
