| The menu allows the player to either begin a single-player campaign (including [[Challenge Mode|challenges]]), begin a [[Cooperative Testing Initiative|cooperative]] campaign, or manage in-game settings. Additional [[videos|promotional videos]] can be accessed by clicking the [[#Extras|Extras]] option. The [[Robot Enrichment]] menu allows the player access to their Cooperative Testing Initiative [[Backpack]] and equip cosmetic items.

| ''Portal 2'' features several backgrounds that display pre-rendered videos, which correspond to the story act currently being undertaken in the single-player campaign, or the most recently loaded single-player map. If a single-player map has not been played recently, the main menu will default to the first menu background (broken GLaDOS).
