During the Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, Valve announced that Portal: Companion Collection would be released the same day, giving Switch owners access to both Portal and Portal 2. However, not even 24 hours after its release , it seems that the modders have had I discovered an important date related to Half-Life 2 within the game and have now gotten it to work on the Switch … To some extent.
As reported by VGC, Twitter user @OatmealDome has posted a video of Half-Life 2 running on the Switch hardware. While it is stated that the game is currently crashing along with other reported bugs, we have to say that the footage itself looks exceptionally clean.
[Portal 1]
I managed to load Half-Life 2 on the Switch version of Portal 1!
It works a bit: the game crashes from time to time, it is impossible to advance on some maps, NPC animations have errors, saves do not work and world cameras are not generated correctly.https: //t.co/osSnDsi2bZ.

It gives us hope that maybe Valve can officially bring Half-Life 2 to Switch someday. Originally released in 2004, FPS still remains one of the most influential games of all time; so much so that fans have been asking for a sequel to the point that it has almost become a meme.
You can now grab Portal: Collection of Fellows at the Switch e-shop for $ 19.99 / £ 13.49.
