Updates

An Update is a new version of the build of a game that adds and adjusts content. Said content typically includes new or adjusted game modes, balance changes, and bug fixes. Deadlock gets updated several times a week and not all changes are recorded in patch notes. This page lists only changes mentioned on the Official Deadlock forum patch notes, and some notable unlisted changes discovered by players. Update times are based on the Pacific Standard Time zone (PST) of Valve Corporation's headquarters in Bellevue, Washington.

Deadlock is currently in a closed alpha state.

From August 1 2024 to December 6, the game had a schedule where a major update was released once every 2 weeks, usually on a Thursday. On January 8 2025 it was announced that this schedule was dropped in favor of having more time between major updates, for better testing and more internal development time.
