Valve’s Portal games are launching on Nintendo Switch today

Back in February during a Nintendo Direct, Valve announced that it would be bringing Portal and Portal 2 to the Nintendo Switch later this year as part of the Portal: Companion Collection. It has been months since then and we've had no official updates. Fortunately during today's Nintendo Direct Mini, the game was revealed once again and better yet, it is launching today. 

Valve teamed up with Nvidia Lightspeed Studios to bring Portal and Portal 2 to the Nintendo Switch. For those who don't know, Nvidia Lightspeed Studios has aided in other game projects in the past, having brought Half-Life 2 to the Nvidia Shield, and aided on other projects like Quake RTX and Minecraft RTX.

For Portal: Companion Collection, Valve teamed up with Nvidia once again to help produce the port. Given that the Switch is powered by a custom Nvidia SoC, this choice makes perfectly good sense.

Portal: Companion Collection is available for the Nintendo Switch starting today, packing in the full single-player campaigns as well as Portal 2's co-op mode for $19.99.

KitGuru Says: Portal has been getting a lot of attention this year. Not only do we have this Switch re-release, but Valve also released a new short-form game set in the Portal universe that acts as a demo and tutorial for the Steam Deck and its controllers. Beyond that, there has also been growing support for Portal 3 within Valve's ranks, although the likelihood of Valve developing any game that ends in a 3 still remains slim.
