Experience a revolutionary way to interact with the Aperture Science testing chambers in Portal 2: In Motion. This specialized DLC campaign, developed by Sixense Entertainment, transforms the classic first-person puzzle experience into an immersive motion-controlled adventure. Designed specifically for use with the PlayStation Move motion controller on the PlayStation 3, this expansion brings a new dimension of physical interaction to the beloved Portal universe.

Redefining Puzzle Gameplay with Motion Control

Portal 2: In and Motion leverages the high-performance motion tracking of the PlayStation Move hardware to provide what is described as one of the most intuitive motion control experiences available. Rather than relying solely on traditional inputs, players use the motion controller to physically reach, rotate, and scale objects within the environment. This tactile approach requires players to solve increasingly challenging puzzles that demand creative and precise use of movement.

The gameplay mechanics extend far beyond simple pointing. To progress through the campaign, players must master several new physical interactions:

  • Precision Portal Placement: Players must fire portals at specific, exacting angles to navigate the test chambers effectively.
  • Physical Object Manipulation: Use motion to toss Weighted Storage Cubes with measured force and manipulate environmental elements.
  • Integrated Visual Feedback: The light on the PlayStation Move controller automatically changes color to match the last portal created—either blue or orange—mimicking the functionality of the in-game Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device.

New Challenges and Test Chambers

Set within the established world and character roster of Valve's Portal 2, this add-on introduces players to a brand new series of challenges. The campaign consists of 20 unique test chambers, designed to guide players through a structured progression. The experience begins with tutorial-based levels to familiarize players with the motion mechanics before advancing into much more difficult, complex chambers that test both logic and physical dexterity.

Who is this game for?

This expansion is an essential acquisition for fans of the original Portal 2 who are looking to experiment with new technology. It specifically appeals to:

  • PlayStation Move Owners: Players looking to maximize the utility and immersion of their motion-tracking hardware.
  • Puzzle Enthusiasts: Gamers who enjoy high-concept spatial reasoning and are seeking a fresh way to interact with classic mechanics.
  • Tech Early Adopters: Those interested in seeing how cutting-edge motion tracking can be integrated into established, award-winning franchises.

Available on the PlayStation 3, Portal 2: In Motion offers a distinct, physical way to "think with portals" that differentiates itself from any other entry in the series.
