Is Deadlock still invite-only?

Yes. As of 8 November 2026, Deadlock is still an invite-only playtest. You can't buy it on Steam, and there is no open sign-up: a Steam friend who has the game has to invite you. That friend can be anyone, and today the invite arrives within minutes.

How you get in

  1. 1
    Someone who has Deadlock adds you as a Steam friend.
  2. 2
    They invite you from the game's Invite your Friends menu.
  3. 3
    Valve's invite arrives as a message in your Steam chat with them. Accept it, and Deadlock is in your library.

Your Steam account can't be limited: it needs to have spent $5 on Steam. See limited accounts.

If you don't know anyone who has it

Invite Frog is a Steam account that invites everyone who adds it, day and night. It has sent 8,416 invites so far, and Valve's invite usually arrives within 1m 56s.
