Template:Archived Page History/Portal/en

Portal (2007) is a puzzle video game using the Orange Box engine. Taking place in the mysterious Aperture laboratories, the game operates as a puzzle-based shooter, allowing you to create portals that link to one another on any flat and large enough surface.

The gameplay is similar to  Narbacular Drop by Nuclear Monkey Software, an indie game that won the IGF 2006 Student Showcase. Members of the development team who created the game were hired by Valve in 2005.

In 2022, Nvidia released Portal with RTX, a remastered version of Portal developed by NVIDIA Lightspeed Studios (who also co-developed Portal Companion Collection for Nintendo Switch, and previously ported Portal to NVIDIA Shield devices) which takes advantage of newer hardware and adds ray-tracing support, PBR textures, new high-poly models and much more.
