Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection Fan Project Currently in Testing

The Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection is currently in testing, according to recent activity logged onto SteamDB. The SteamDB page shows activity from just a few days ago, with the adding and removing of depots of up to 20GB in size.

For those unfamiliar with the project, the Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection is a fan-made project that aims to add touch-ups and extra details to the original Half Life 2 game. According to a video by Tyler McVicker, who covered the project back in 2021, Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection will port the game to the CS:GO version of the Source Engine. The remaster is spearheaded by Filip Victor, who was given permission by Valve to work on the project.

The specific activity seen on Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection’s SteamDB store page is the adding and removing of depots. Depots are essentially groupings of files, so it’s possible that Victor (and possibly other developers working on the project) are giving some version of the game a test run.

This does not mean, of course, that the Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection will be available anytime soon, but it does at least show that the project is still being worked on. At this point, it’s anyone’s guess as to when the Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection releases.
