Appetite for news among fans of Team Fotress 2 was so great that the game managed to set a a new activity record on Steam. It currently stands at more than 228 thousand people.

Team Fortress 2 Summer Update - list of novelties

  1. Among the new content the lead is taken by 14 maps, which were created by the community. We are talking about the locations Sharkbay, Rotunda, Phoenix, Cashworks, Venice, Reckoner, Sulfur, Hardwood, Pelican Peak, Selbyen, VSH Tiny Rock, VSH Distillery, VSH Skirmish and VSH Nucleus.
  2. In addition, the Summer 2023 Cosmetic Case update was introduced, containing 25 new items, also developed by the community. In addition in Mann Co. Store, 6 previously unavailable taunts have appeared (also created by the community), namely: Killer Joke, Star-Spangled Strategy, The Head Doctor, Tuefort Tango, The Road Rager and The Killer Signature.
  3. The update also brings 20 new Unusual effects (guess who made them), 12 of which are for Unusual caps, while 8 are for Unusual taunts.
  4. In addition, Summer 2023 War Paint Case has been introduced, which includes 10 new war paints, which make up the Summer 2023 collection. There is also a chance to get a bonus item - Unusualifier - which adds an unusual effect to a specific taunt.
  5. Along with the update, a Summer Event has been added to the game. All crates of decorative items and taunts opened during it are to contain Unusual effects instead of standard ones. It is worth noting, however, that this does not apply to crates.
  6. The Summer Event will last until September 15, 2023.

The update also brings a number of security and stability fixes, as well as various bug fixes. Their full list can be found in the official announcement.
