Deadlock (Valve’s MOBA-hero shooter) does not have a full public release date yet, but it has been playable in closed/limited early access since 2024–2025 and is expected to fully launch around late 2026 based on current reporting and community info.

Quick Scoop: when did Deadlock come out?

  • Deadlock has been in a closed playtest / invite-only early access phase for several years, with broader early-access style availability emerging by 2024–2025.
  • Valve officially “lifted the lid” on the game and made it widely visible (Steam page, press, creator coverage) on August 23, 2024.
  • As of February 2026, there is still no official 1.0 release date , but press estimates and dev comments suggest the full launch is unlikely before late 2026.

So if you’re asking “when did Deadlock come out?” in the sense of a full, public release on Steam, that hasn’t happened yet; the game is currently in invite-based early access with a projected release window around late 2026.
