The Nintendo Switch looks to be giving all sorts of new life to old games in 2022. Both Portal and Portal 2 are heading to Nintendo’s console, combined together in a single release called Portal: Companion Collection.
Nintendo announced the new Portal ports during the February 2022 Nintendo Direct with a new trailer. As fans of Valve’s space-bending puzzlers already know, a big part of Portal 2 was the cooperative play it offered. The Switch version will include local, online, and split-screen cooperative multiplayer.

Now Playing: Portal: Companion Collection for Nintendo Switch — Official Trailer
If you’re unfamiliar, the Portal games are first-person puzzlers known as much for their humor–and quippy AI antagonist GLaDOS–as for their challenging, inventive puzzles. In the first Portal, you play Chell, a woman who wakes up in the strange Aperture Science portal testing facility and who is run through a series of tests by GLaDOS, which eventually become more and more unnervingly dangerous. The first Portal was relatively compact, coming as a part of Valve’s Orange Box release for Half-Life 2.
Portal 2, on the other hand, expands on everything in the original, making for a much longer and more in-depth experience. It also expands on all the story related to the game, giving you a lot more information about GLaDOS, Aperture Science, and its founder, Cave Johnson. It also is pretty damn funny.
We don’t have a definitive release date for Companion Collection, however. The Direct has slated the game as coming out “later this year,” so we’re stuck waiting for further details.
