Portal 2 has received an update and is now compatible with AMD’s Vulkan API

Valve’s Portal 2 has been a crowd favorite ever since it was released. The interesting storyline and unique game mechanics would explain the fan following it has gathered. However, ever since the release of the game, there have been a few bugs that have stood out to its community.

The most recent update sees that most of the bugs residing in the game are fixed. Not to mention more compatibility with other platforms as well.

Portal 2 made its mark in the industry mainly because of its very interesting game mechanics. The ability to open a fifth-dimensional portal and find your way across a top-secret test facility is truly unique.

Portal 1 being one of Valve’s masterpieces, Portal 2 really did a good job of following up with the storyline and keeping the idea of the game alive and kicking. The mechanics of the game are sometimes so jarring that quite a few people struggle to even progress through the game. Portal allows for 2 players to play together and solve encapsulating puzzles together as well.
