Valve is working on a new game called Deadlock, but hasn’t really talked about it much, or even acknowledged that the game exists. While we can’t say much about the title, you can try it out for yourself! In order to play the game, you’ll need to be invited by another player. Here’s how to get a Deadlock invite.

The best way to get an invite to play Deadlock is to visit the dedicated subreddit r/DeadlockTheGame and head over to the invite megathread. You can also visit the unofficial Deadlock Discord server. You can only receive an invite from a Steam friend, which means you'll need to find a Deadlock player and add them as a friend to your Steam account. Follow the instructions below to get the Deadlock invite.

Since the game is in the early stages of development, early testing is being conducted by a relatively small group of players. As development continues, Valve is expected to open the doors to more players.

While you wait for a Deadlock invite, you can learn more about other Valve games. Check out All the changes coming to Counter Strike 2 and How to Set a Kill Bind in Team Fortress 2 on Pro Game Guides.
