If you haven't heard, Valve released Aperture Desk Job set in the Portal universe, a playable short that serves to introduce players to the control on the Steam Deck hardware, but it is also playable on a PC with a controller.

the ending of the title actually create possible implication to the future of the series. Here's the ending (spoiler obviously) but I suggest you to go through the title and see for yourself, its only half hours long.

Spoiler: Spoilers for Aperture Desk Lab

If you remember from the Portal games, Cave Johnson (CEO of Aperture) was dying from an illness, and he poured his money to get his scientists to make sure he don't die. The scientists started researching AI and brain mapping so he could transfer his consciousness into a computer. But fearing that he will die before the work is completed, he made his secretary Caroline the new CEO of the company after he die and that her consciousness will be transferred to the computer meant for him (which leads to Glados). It was presumed that Cave eventually died from the sickness.

In this game, it was revealed that the scientists actually managed to transfer his conscious into a computer, but it was nested inside a metal head modelled after him. You destroyed the head per his request, sending the head pummeling down to the basement. During the credit, it shows that metal head is still alive (along with some turret prototypes) in the basement, now powered by a strange device created by the mantis men, one of the experiments which Cave Johnson did when he was still alive. Not sure if Cave Johnson remains though.

I hope this Cave Johnson guy looks like Jeff Bezos.

And can be sucked into space

Aperture Desk Job is a free playable short set in the Portal universe that puts you in the office chair of an Aperture Science employee, and it's hilarious. Although it's technically made from the ground up as an introduction to Valve's new handheld: the Steam Deck, you can still play this game entirely on a PC.
