Patches

Patches are updates to Team Fortress 2 that fix known bugs, glitches, or exploits within the game, and often add new features or balance changes to weapons, maps, or other game elements.

Major updates are patches that add new weapons, game modes, or maps. Previously, major updates had centered around one or two particular classes and included new content released predominantly for that class. More recent updates, however, have focused on a particular theme or holiday celebration such as Halloween.

Patches to the game are deployed to Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms via Steam, and must be downloaded and applied before the game can be launched. While all three of these platforms retain the same codebase and have updates released simultaneously, the versions of the game on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 were separate and did not receive frequent updates and as such is no longer supported by Valve, due to restrictions imposed on game developers. To date, there have been only four patches to Team Fortress 2 on Xbox 360 and one patch on PlayStation 3, compared to the 810 patches that have been released to Windows, macOS, and Linux since 2007.
