The Companion Cube Pin is a promotional miscellaneous item for all classes. It depicts a team-colored portal and a Weighted Companion Cube floating within, from the eponymous Valve game Template:W.
The Companion Cube Pin was given to those who pre-purchased Portal 2 on Steam before April 19 and awarded from April 15, 2011 to April 19, 2011.[1]
Update history
- [Undocumented] The Companion Cube Pin was added to the game.

Bugs

Trivia
- Pins were originally awarded to players with the Unique quality, but were later changed to have the Genuine quality shortly after the release of Portal 2.
- A Vintage Companion Cube Pin was given to a play-tester of Portal 2 at PAX 2010, prior to the item's official release.[2] The item can be seen here.
- A second vintage pin was awarded to another player for unknown reasons.
- Player Vulcnor, upon winning a charity auction for Child's Play, received a Unique version of the Pin.
- The BLU Demoman in the promotional art has a dynamite badge on his shoulder instead of the stickybomb badge seen in-game.
