Half-Life 2 playable in browser via new unofficial WebGL 2 port

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

An unofficial browser port of the game Half-Life 2 has been released, allowing players to experience the full campaign, including its episodic DLCs, directly within their web browser. Developed by Slqnt and 98006 in just three months, this port utilizes WebGL 2 and WebAssembly to run the game natively, offering features like save states, console support, and in-game achievements. While it performs exceptionally well on desktop systems, achieving over 100 FPS, some users have reported issues with mobile performance and minor graphical glitches. AI
