Will Deadlock Be Free to Play (F2P)

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen games come and go, some leaving lasting memories while others fade into obscurity. When I heard about Valve’s upcoming MOBA, Deadlock, I couldn’t help but feel a spark of excitement. After all, Valve has a knack for creating games that captivate the masses, and their free-to-play model has been a game-changer in the industry.


Recently, Valve unveiled Deadlock, their upcoming MOBA that many players have been anticipating since it was in beta testing for quite some time. Now, with its official announcement, we’re deluged with details and gameplay streams. For now, you can gain access to the game with an invitation, which is complimentary. But will it remain free-to-play post 1.0 release? We’ll have to wait and see.

There’s no set release date for Deadlock yet. What we do know for sure is that it will be available on Steam. As for console versions, given Valve’s past, they seem rather unlikely. With anticipation running high, one of the top queries revolves around whether the game will be free to play.

To put it frankly, we’re quite confident that they won’t alter their approach. Here’s why: Currently, Valve backs three highly popular multiplayer games – Counter Strike, Dota, and Team Fortress. All these titles are free to play, which has proven to be successful for Gabe Newell’s company over time. Given their longevity in the market, we can infer they’re profitable. However, since developers haven’t disclosed any plans yet and the games on Steam don’t explicitly have a ‘Free to Play’ tag, there could be a possibility of introducing a paid version alongside the free one, as seen with CS2.

Since the game has been officially unveiled, it’s likely we’ll hear more updates from the company in the coming months. For now, let’s stay patient.
