Chunks Of Half-Life 2 Are Hidden Inside Portal on Switch ⁠— And Hackers Are Getting Them Working

After yesterday’s Nintendo Direct Mini, Valve released Portal: Companion Collection, a bundle of Portal and Portal 2 for the Nintendo Switch. Within 24 hours, hackers have already found out that this bundle essentially contains a hidden game within its code, and it’s none other than Half-Life 2. Yesterday, Twitter user @OatmealDome shared that they had found Half-Life 2 in its entirety (save for a few things like maps and music) within the game’s files.[Portal 1]The Source Engine debuts on the Switch!- Likely based on the NVIDIA Shield port, with a little Xbox 360 sprinkled in- The entirety of Half-Life 2 (minus maps and music) is present in the ROM(!?), might be leftovers from Shield version- Uses OpenGL for rendering— OatmealDome (@OatmealDome) June 29, 2022 @OatmealDome pointed out that Portal having bits and pieces of Half-Life 2 is expected because “Portal 1 is just a fancy mod of Half-Life 2.” However, they also found larger chunks like NPCs and voice clips that don’t have any correlation to Portal.
