Valve will be packing its Steam framework into the PlayStation 3 version of Portal 2 - but that doesn't mean to say that Sony's platform will get any more content than the Xbox 360. Chet Faliszek has said that the two versions will be "identical" to each other and the PC version.
"If you bought the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions and put them side by side you can see they're identical games. The actual content is the same too across all platforms," Faliszek told CVG. The Steam backend will simply make it easier for the PS3 version to update itself.
There are a few other benefits too. "With the PS3 we can update more often, we don't have to have someone else gate that ability. We can play between the PC and PS3 players because we can update more frequently.
"That's our thing, we don't want to hurt [either PS3 and PC users playing cross-platform] and now that we can update more frequently it's easier for us to avoid that," Faliszek added.
