Portal: Companion Collection has only just come out, but it seems a lot of interesting discoveries are already being made. Just earlier today, we reported on the existence of Half-Life 2 data within the game that's actually allowed some users to run the Valve classic on Switch hardware.
Now, it looks like never-before-seen Portal 2 beta content has been discovered for the first time within the Companion Collection's data. As reported by GamesRadar, YouTube user Ossy Flawol has uncovered a lot of interesting data, including cut levels, dev tools, and even an early version of the game's ending. A huge co-op level has also been discovered that features puzzles and mechanics that would eventually make their way into Portal 2's multiplayer component.
It's a fascinating look into some of the cut content from the game, and Ossy Flawol concludes that there is still a lot more left to discover. Check out the video below for a full look at what's been found.
Are you playing Portal: Companion Collection now that it's out on Switch? What do you make of the datamine discoveries? Let us know!

Oh wow... that stuff with the humans would have been super creepy to discover in the game.
Super cool leak, though! It's nice to finally get some actual new news about one of my favorite games of all time.
I plan on buying it this weekend. I've never played it before, seems like I'm in for a treat.
When this was announced I was so sure it was going to be followed by Half Life 2...but then it never happened and I was gutted. I've never played that either, maybe one day.
So you gotta download all those files you can't use if you get it digitally?
@SteamEngenius Yes, but to be fair almost all games include at least some form of cut content in the files so if you buy any game digitally it'd be the same. It's more harmful to remove those files as you run the risk of creating new bugs so leaving them in but inaccessable is safer.
These were new discoveries? I was surprised to see the games on Switch, but now I'm wondering what version they're based on.
It's not like they had to scale back on a prettier, new version. These were out during the PS3 days...
I never played this game. I don't have a PC or a PS3. I'm really looking forward to this on the Switch.
It's out? I should read articles properly. And it's $27.99AUD! That's well priced.
@Ploppy
Don't look up the current Steam sale.
I’m so excited to get this, I’ve wanted to play Portal my whole life, but never have because it’s not on Nintendo consoles… now it’s finally here!
Im thinking of buying this, does anyone know if it comes as 2 icons on the homescreen (one for each game) or is it one icon that you use to play both? Thanks
@Zeldinion its two separate installs (two icons) as all packs should be
Is the Switch version a good port? Does it have gyro controls?
@ferryb001 Damn thats a little annoying, but im still getting it. Been wanting to play these for a while. I just think it wouldve been slightly more convenient as one but i dont care that much.
@chardir
Yes and yes. I beat the first game again yesterday on switch, started the second, and they run just as well as the pc version. Highly reccomend, legendary ports of legendary games.
@solarwolf07 I haven’t finished portal 2 yet on steam and I will have to try both on switch I hoped they are good ports and you confirmed that
@Zeldinion how exactly is one install more convenient? I think it’s nice that you can install just one of the two, also it tracks play time properly that way.
@ferryb001 Fair enough, id just prefer to have a single icon where i can switch in the menu ingame.
Ever since getting my Switch, I've wanted these games to take with me on the go. I couldn't be more happy about these.
@nukatha No need. I already own it. One my kids (not sure which one) broke my sweet ass laptop. Rather than replace it, I got a switch and an xbox.
Some pre-order bonus skins would have been nice. I had all the other bonus items on steam version.
I'm waiting for hopefully a new ARG, that would be really cool
