Valve's "Half-Life: Alyx" Will Be Virtual Reality's First Killer App

Steep hardware prices and a lack of big-budget, must-have content have been key limiting factors in the growth of virtual reality (VR). However, headset prices are starting to come down, and VR's first high-profile exclusive is on the horizon.

Video game maker Valve unveiled Half-Life: Alyx on Nov. 21 -- the first new content in the much-loved Half-Life video game franchise since 2007. It's also the first triple-A game from a major franchise that's been built from the ground up for VR, and the title has the makings of a real game-changer. A follow-up to Half-Life 2 has been one of the most anticipated titles among hardcore gamers for more than a decade, and Alyx stands out as the first killer app for expanding VR platform adoption.
