Portal 2 has been updated to improve local co-op on PC

Portal 2 is over eight years old, but even now the game is being updated. That’s right, Portal 2 has been updated on PC, fixing bugs while adding new features to the game’s PC version. 

For starters, this patch is designed to improve Portal 2’s local co-op mode, allowing PC gamers to have one player on mouse/keyboard while another is using a gamepad. This option was previously impossible, at least without mods or workarounds. This local co-op is also available within the community co-op map queue. Sadly, this feature is not supported in quickplay at this time. 

Another neat addition to Portal 2 comes with Steam’s new Remote Play Together update, which will allow PC gamers to play split-screen Portal 2 over the internet. This even allows gamers who don’t own Portal 2 to join in on the fun. Yes, online co-op is possible for two players that own the game, but Valve’s Remote Play Together feature allows the same functionality to be achieved with only one copy of Portal 2.
