Aperture Desk Job is a 2022 action game developed and published by Valve. Set in the Portal universe, the player controls a character who inspects products while in front of a desk with a monitor that resembles the Steam Deck console, and while being aided by an artificial intelligence (AI) core. J. K. Simmons reprises his role as Cave Johnson while Nate Bargatze voices Grady, the AI core.

The game was announced to showcase the features and controls of Steam Deck to show off the console's controls, and was released on Steam on March 1, 2022. Valve also made the game playable on Windows with a requirement to own a game controller. The game received praise for its story and sense of humor, and its demonstration of the controls of the handheld.
