Portal 2 Gets an Update to Feature Vulkan Renderer

Portal 2 Gets an Update to Feature Vulkan Renderer

It's been a while old friend...

Portal 2 is almost 10 years old. But from what we can see, it is still not dead. Valve is still bringing some update that improves the game quality.

Portal 2 gets a new update to feature Vulkan renderer

Right now, Portal 2 Vulkan renderer is only available using the ”-vulkan” command line. This means that gamers will need to enable the feature before hitting the play button. With this update, we can hear the footsteps of Valve planning something big because of the 10 year anniversary of the title. We think that this update will not be the last one. As the game is still being played after all those years.

One feature that Valve has added is “Smarter default video settings”, “improved resolution” player avatars, “rendering optimisations”, and have allowed the game’s portal gun to be “correctly affected by dynamic light“, features which only make sense if Valve has future plans for Portal 2 and the Portal franchise as a whole. After the release of Half-Life Alyx, seeing another game of the franchise is more likely than ever.

If you want to know more about this update of Portal 2, you can check out the patch notes just below:
