Valve has updated Portal 2 so that now it finally matches console versions for split-screen co-op functionality. This is good science as it means PC gamers can enjoy Big Picture a lot more.
Big Picture is of course Valve’s update to Steam so that PCs support being connected to TVs, as they make it easy to play your PC games and use Steam through just a controller.
Of course that would mean Portal 2 on PC through Big Picture is just like the console versions, minus the technical drawbacks; hence why split-screen co-op is now in.
To activate the split-screen the second controller needs to ‘press X’ inside the first co-op menu, reveals Valve.
