Forgotten Half-Life game reaches new player peak thanks to fan event

Half-Life: Blue Shift is a game mostly forgotten, with only a few dozen players logging in each day to re-live the adventures of Barney Calhoun. But recently, the game recorded a new peak thanks to a fan event.

On Aug. 14, 3,070 fans gathered to play the expansion to the original Half-Life game, setting a new all-time peak for the title, according to Steam Charts. This was sparked by the series’ community, who organized an event called “Shifting the Bar” which attempted (and succeeded) to break the all-time concurrent player peak Blue Shift.
