Half-Life: Alyx is the first Half-Life game in a very long time, and fans who want to celebrate their return to City 17 might want to listen to the soundtrack on the go. Now, with the first part of the album appearing on streaming services, they can do just that.
Half-Life: Alyx Chapter 1 runs for just 21 minutes across 9 tracks, with more parts coming soon. You can listen below through Spotify. If you purchase chapter 1, all other chapters will be added over time, according to Valve.
Today the soundtrack includes music from Chapter 1: Entanglement, but the rest is on its way. Add the album to your preferred streaming service, or purchase it on Steam, and it will automatically update as the remaining chapters are added. https://t.co/RH6ZncXYUq pic.twitter.com/VohP5eU5Gy

These tracks will either evoke the music from the Half-Life game you’ve recently enjoyed, or, for those without VR, give you some scant piece of new Half-Life content after a long, long wait.
Other Half-Life soundtracks can also be streamed or purchased–check out the official Half-Life music page for more.
Half-Life: Alyx received a 9/10 in GameSpot’s review. “Not only has Half-Life: Alyx made good on its shift to VR, it has elevated many of the aspects we’ve come to love about Half-Life games,” wrote reviewer Michael Higham. “It may not be as bombastic as previous games, but the intimacy of VR brings you closer to a world you might have thought you knew over the past 22 years.”
