"Straw added that all the previous dates for an announcement of the next Half-Life game have passed, but that his sources "are still adamant this is a game that will be a launch title with the Steam Machine." However, being tied to Valve's latest hardware release could be an issue since Straw noted that the explosive jump in RAM pricing is causing considerable concern for the Steam Machine's pricing announcement."
""There is a concern, however, they haven't made a decision on price, which is kind of holding back the announcement of anything else," Straw said. "There's no doubt in my mind Valve is still trying to make decisions because of what's going on on the component side.""
""The window I was specifically told was spring 2026 for the Steam Machine, for the Frame, for the Controller, for Half-Life 3," Mike Straw, one of the hosts of the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast and senior editor at Insider Gaming, said. "At the end of the day, the game is real.""
Half-Life 3 is reported to be scheduled to release alongside Valve's Steam Machine in spring 2026. Sources indicate the game would be a Steam Machine launch title. Valve's Steam Machine pricing decision remains unsettled due to a sharp rise in RAM component costs, which is creating concern and delaying any price announcement. Valve has not officially confirmed release or pricing details. Fans remain hopeful after an updated Half-Life 2 for its 20th anniversary and persistent rumors that a playable, near-complete version of Half-Life 3 exists.
