Deadlock from Valve is now available for everyone: how to obtain a key on Steam

Anyone can now play Valve's Deadlock, as the developers have made access to the game much easier by allowing invites from friends who already have keys.

Previously, users needed to enter an email address to receive a key for alpha testing Deadlock, but Valve has removed this requirement. To start playing Deadlock, you just need to get an invite from a friend on Steam who is already a tester.

It might seem difficult to obtain a key, as not everyone has friends with game keys, but thanks to the community, getting a key has become straightforward.

Here’s how to start playing Deadlock from Valve:

1. Open Steam and go to the Account tab in the upper right corner to copy your Steam ID, which is a series of numbers.

2. Use any search engine to find the Deadlock community on social media, websites, or Telegram.

3. There, you’ll find threads where testers are giving away Deadlock keys for free.

4. Leave your Steam ID in the appropriate thread, and after some time, one of the players will add you as a friend on Steam.

5. Once this happens, simply accept the friend request and the Deadlock invite.

6. You will receive a notification that you’ve been invited to test the game, and Deadlock will appear in your library, where you can install it.
