With the impending release of the Dota 2 documentary, titled Free To Play, which will be out today on steam, Valve has released an item bundle for supporters of the initiative. The bundle contains 3 hero sets, created in collaboration with each of the three stars of the documentary.
Half-Life and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw has detailed how his team has been using Generative AI for research and development at Valve.

Valve has responded to New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against the firm, stating it does not believe that lootboxes in its Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 games unlawfully encourage minors to gamble, adding it was "disappointed" to see the action go ahead despite efforts to "educate" the NYAG about virtual items since "early 2023."
