The 2020 Slice

Below are all the test chambers from PortalZ: The 2020 Slice, a pack of all the chambers ready for release from summer 2020.

To play The 2020 Slice:
  1. Download the necessary materials and sounds.

  2. Save all the the BSP files to one of these locations:
        Windows: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\portal\portal\maps
        MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/portal/portal/maps
    (On Windows 64-bit, replace “Program Files” with “Program Files (x86)”.  On older versions of Steam, replace “common” with your Steam username.)

  3. Launch Portal.

  4. Select “Bonus Maps”.

  5. Select PortalZ: The 2020 Slice.
    (You can also open a specific chamber from the developer console by running "map z_2020_chamber_#", where "#" is the number of the chamber.)
Alternatively, you can download PortalZ: The First Slice from one of these external sites as a ZIP file and follow the included instructions:

Known issues in The 2020 Slice:
  • Turret AI is sometimes completely unresponsive.  I do not know why this happens for some people; I hope to have time to patch this issue specifically.
  • Reflections are not present on most/all reflective surfaces.
  • Cubes being pushed by antisoftlock panels in chamber 03 occasionally get stuck (but usually not in a way that makes the chamber unsolvable).
  • If you try, you can softlock yourself in chamber 10 by using a cube to push yourself into the button that unlocks the third room and jumping through the door just before it closes.
  • If you try, you can softlock yourself in chamber 11 by squeezing yourself into the pit under the moving panel in the final room before lowering it.
