Valve announces that
Portal 2 will be released for PlayStation 3 simultaneously with the
previously announced Windows, Mac, and Xbox 360 editions of the platformer sequel, saying the PS3 edition will be the online console version to include Steamworks. "When the PlayStation 3 was introduced, I was the one of the platform's biggest critics," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "However, Sony Computer Entertainment has proved that the PlayStation 3 is the most open platform of all the current generation consoles and has worked extremely hard to make the platform the most desirable for consumers and developers. As such, we are delighted to announce Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3 and believe the Steamworks support included will make it the best console version of the game." Portal 2
is expected in 2011, subject to the vagaries of
Valve Time.
