Black Mesa Gets a Boost: Improved Steam Deck Support in Latest Update

The wait is finally over for Steam Deck users, as the latest update to Black Mesa brings improved controller support, making the game more playable on the handheld console.

Gaming on the go just got a whole lot better

The Necro Patch update adds proper controller support, making it more manageable for console gamers. Steam Deck owners can now enjoy the game with Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch Pro controllers, thanks to Steam Input. The update also brings Gyro support, adding more fun options for Valve users.

“The fact that this is also a really good remake helps, even if it’s not a visual treat to the eyes.” - A fan of the original Half-Life

Fans of the game no longer have to configure Black Mesa to get controller support. Simply picking the Steam Controller layout and applying it will do the trick. This update makes the game control like a console shooter, a far cry from the difficulties faced by Steam Deck users before.

A great remake of Half-Life

It’s surreal to see a project like Black Mesa getting an official release on Steam, a store owned by Half-Life developer Valve. The fact that this is a really good remake helps, even if it’s not a visual treat to the eyes. Whether you’re a fan of the original Half-Life or want to see what the hype is about, this is a great way to play that iconic shooter.

Now is the best time to try out Black Mesa, as this update makes the shooter better than it’s already been. And with the game on sale, fans can pick it up for a fairly generous price.
