Deadlock
A third-person hero shooter that plays like a MOBA.
What it is
Deadlock is Valve's free-to-play 6v6 action game that blends third-person shooter combat with MOBA fundamentals — lanes, creeps, an item shop and a push toward the enemy base. Each hero has a distinct kit, and matches reward both mechanical aim and macro decision-making. It runs on Steam and has quickly become one of Valve's most-played modern titles.
Why play it
- A genuinely fresh blend of shooter and MOBA that feels like neither alone.
- Free to play with a growing, frequently updated hero roster.
- Deep enough for the competitive crowd, with satisfying gunplay for everyone.
