Sync progress in Portal 2 co-op between PS3 and Steam accounts?
My girlfriend has a PS3 with Portal 2 and our Steam accounts are friends.
Is it possible for us to play in splitscreen mode on the PS3 while saving our progress to our respective Steam accounts? We would like to be able to play together on the PS3 when we are in the same city, but also be able to play over the internet when we are apart.
Best Answer
You can't transfer saves between the PC and PS3 versions of Portal 2. Adding splitscreen play on top of that just adds another layer of "improbable" on top of "impossible".

You can not save coop games. Whenever you complete a chamber the progress will be saved and the next time you start it up with your friend you will be at the hub. You can pick up where you left off there.Can you play Portal 2 Coop Steam?

Answer 2
This is not possible, but you could drop the PS3 entirely and play split-screen on your computer with the same Steam account, even using your PS3 controller(s) if you want (provided they can connect via USB). However, your new problem comes down to syncing progress between the second player and the second Steam account when you two wish to play remotely.
