Valve reveals details for Steam on PS3DVDBack23 @ Apr 14, 2011 00:01 | 11 comments
Portal 2 is the first game to support Steam on a console, and the game will offer "cross-platform matchmaking, gameplay, friends, chat, and achievements," says the company.
Additionally, Steam for PS3 allows for game progress to be saved to the Steam cloud where they can continue playing their game on any PS3.
From within the Steam overlay, gamers have access to both their PSN and 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."
To use Steam you must link your PSN account with your Steam account, which takes a few clicks after you insert Portal 2.
Finally, if you purchase the PS3 version, you will also be given an access code to play on your PC or Mac, as well. |
Valve has revealed many details about its upcoming Steam "experience" for the PS3, coming next week with the launch of "Portal 2."

Xbox 360 rules!

Comment by: Emudude1963 (Apr 18, 2011 14:15) Does this mean I can't play Portal 2 on my PS3 Unless I am connected to the Internet? Neither my Xbox 360 or my PS3 (or Wii) are connected to the Internet. If I am forced to use the Internet to Play Portal 2, that would suck.

I started with nothing, I still have little left.
