Trivia

  • In both team's bases are references to outer space in the Team Fortress 2 universe.
    • Behind both team's spawns is a room filled with rockets similar to the one used on the map Doomsday.
    • To the side of the rocket room is a metallic room with a lone spherical chair similar to the ascetics of Asteroid.
    • At the center of each base is a closed launch pad with a rocket inside prepped for launch, and above a partly opened roof shutter.
  • In the control room near the team oriented control point is a computer terminal and bulletin board with several references.
    • On the terminal, there is a launch sequence code "111....1" This is a code said by Soldier in Meet the Spy.
    • On both the terminal and the bulletin board are references to Poopy Joe.
    • The bulletin board has a newspaper referencing the Apollo 11 Moon landing.
    • The terminal says "Capacity: Lolololol", a phrase commonly seen on the title cards of the Meet the Team videos.
  • In each team's spawn rooms, there are cubes of some unknown metallic ore, similar to those seen on Asteroid, next to the trash cans.
  • Powerhouse is the first official Valve map to feature exactly three capture points.
