In what is an unprecedented move, Valve has announced that the upcoming DLC for Portal 2 will be free on all platforms. Owners of Portal 2 on the PC, PS3, XBOX360 and the Mac(which technically everyone on the PC owns since everyone who buys the PC version will be able to play the Mac version) will be able to get it this summer for free. The DLC will add new test chambers, a leaderboard and new challenge modes for single player and coop. Great! I’m also assuming there is going to be new hats as well. In case you missed it you can read my review of Portal 2 here. Read the rather short press release below…
April 29, 2011 - Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced the first game add-on for the year's highest rated multiplatform game, Portal 2, is in development and targeted for this summer.
Portal 2 DLC #1 will offer new test chambers for players, leaderboards, challenge mode for single and multiplayer modes, and more.
Targeted for release this summer, Portal 2 DLC #1 will be offered free of charge for the PC, Mac, Xbox 360, and PS3.
Portal 2 was released April 19 and currently holds a Metacritic score of 95%, making it the top rated multiplatform game of 2011. Portal also captured the number 1 chart position in the UK, Germany, and the Nordic countries during its first week of availability, making it the fastest-selling Valve release since Half-Life 2.
A hilariously mind-bending adventure that challenges you to use wits over weaponry in a funhouse of diabolical science, Portal 2 features expansive single and cooperative multiplayer game modes.
