Valve’s long-kept secret new game Deadlock has finally been officially announced. The game, which combines the MOBA and hero shooter genres, is currently being tested by a limited number of players. However, thanks to its page on the Steam store, it has now become clear how to participate in Deadlock’s testing process. Here are the details…

You need an invite to play Deadlock

Of course, the best way to test out Deadlock is to get an invite directly from Valve. However, the company is currently only sending out invites to streamers and a limited number of people. Alternatively, you can find someone who is already testing the game and ask them for an invite.

To find someone testing the game , you can follow discussions on X (formerly Twitter) or Reddit. The Deadlock subreddit is one of the best resources. Many players send invites to other players from this page. However, be careful of possible scammers and suspicious links.

Once you become friends with someone who has access to the game via Steam, they will need to invite you in-game. Once the invite is sent, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 days for you to receive an email from Steam.

For those who want to access the test version of Deadlock, which currently has over 80,000 concurrent players, this method offers the opportunity to experience the game before anyone else.
