Half‑Life 3 Delayed Amid Rising Hardware Costs

Half‑Life 3 is reportedly delayed due to the rapid rise in memory, SSD and other component prices, according to journalist Mike Strow from Insider Gaming. The game is expected to launch with the Steam Machine, but the console release has been postponed for market reasons. The price of the console remains uncertain. Similar delays have affected projects such as Half‑Life ALYX and Valve’s Index VR. While the idea of Half‑Life 3 remains, this remains speculation.
