Portal 2 for PlayStation 3 is the first title to support Steam on a console. Specifically, that means it offers cross-platform matchmaking, gameplay, friends, chat, and achievements, all powered by Steam. Steam on the PS3 also saves co-op game progress and single player saved games to the Steam Cloud, enabling players to pick up where they left off on any PlayStation 3.

Steam makes its appearance on the PS3 as an overlay within Portal 2. Here, the Steam overlay provides access to Steam Friends, displaying their in-game or online status and providing a quick pathway to text chats, player profiles, friend requests, and game invites. Steam Achievements are earned in lockstep with PSN Trophies and are also accessible within the Steam overlay.

Steam on the PS3 provides access to all of these features once the player has linked their PlayStation Network account with a Steam account, which is done right within the game. A Steam user can login to an existing account, and anyone new to Steam can create an account with the click of a button.

With all these features, Portal 2 on the PS3 is the best console version of the game, just as it was suggested it would be back at E3 last year. If you’re still hungry for more details, head over to steampowered.com and learn more about Portal 2 for PS3.

Bold bits quite take my fancy

I know this may come across as me just being a weird PC gamer but I can't help but think that Microsoft has dropped the ball with this one.

I agree Ben, this is pretty big. It's too early to say just yet but I reckon that Microsoft will be kicking themselves sometime in the near future when this gets off the ground properly

Apparently all the portal related stuff popping up in the Potato sack games are part of an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) for a list of all the clues found so far and how you can play check out the ARG wiki site. Apparently GLaDoS has even been taking over some of the main participants Steam accounts and has been talking to other "humans" on their friends list.

I love all this stuff, where games interact with other games, audio and visual clues are dropped and are found. I hate the fact I miss all of this, it goes totally over my head lol.
