Half-Life 2 and Portal released on Android as NVIDIA SHIELD exclusives

Two iconic games from Valve have come to Android, for NVIDIA SHIELD owners that is. The SHIELD is a portable gaming console that plays Android games as well as streaming PC games when paired up with an NVIDIA graphics card.

Half-Life 2 is almost ten years old and it’s surprising the game didn’t come to Android sooner. Since it’s a first-person shooter, the game requires precise controls so it makes sense for it to debut on the SHIELD.

The original Portal is also pretty old, debuting seven years ago. The game received a ton of accolades when it debuted for its inventive puzzles and hilarious writing. Our own game’s editor, Jonathan Riggall gave it a 9/10.

SHIELD owners will most likely have played these two games already but allowing gamers to take them on the go is a first. Hopefully Valve will bring Portal and Half-Life 2 to other Android devices in the future.

If you have an NVIDIA SHIELD, you can pick up both games for $9.99 each in the Google Play Store.
