Half-Life 2 (Xbox)

Half-Life 2 was ported to Xbox by Valve in 2005. The engine and its maps have been modified to meet the console's hardware specs. Despite this, the game can sometimes struggle to run properly on the console with the framerate occasionally dropping to below 20s.

Key differences between Xbox and PC
