You Can Now Play Half-Life On Nintendo Switch Thanks To Homebrew

Half-Life, a very popular first-person shooter developed by Valve, is now finally playable on Nintendo Switch via homebrew.

This is all thanks to the release of the custom Goldsrc engine on Nintendo Switch, which allows players to play Half-Life on it. As far as we can tell, the game runs very smoothly, but you’ll probably encounter long pauses while the game is loading or saving. Multiplayer isn’t supported yet, but it’s in the works. You’ll probably not be able to complete Blue Shift and Opposing Force for now as there are custom attributes that aren’t supported yet.

Here’s a few videos showing how it runs on Switch:
