Barely has Valve released the Perpetual Testing Initiative DLC for Portal 2 and already the community of players has created over 75,000 maps for the first-person puzzle platformer.

Portal 2 impressed millions of people last year when it was released on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Since then, Valve launched one DLC pack called Peer Review, which included new maps for the game’s cooperative mode.

The second DLC was the recent Perpetual Testing Initiative, which came out last week and allowed players to create their own maps for the game and then share them via the Steam Workshop on PC.

The DLC was a huge success, as over 75,000 new maps are now available for Portal 2 via the Workshop, coming from a wide variety of users.

This isn’t the first time a game with Steam Workshop support is so successful, as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, with the release of the Creation Kit and support for the online service, saw thousands of mods appear.
