Promo art for Poker Night at the Inventory.

Promotional items in Team Fortress 2 are exclusive items made available to players through Valve's marketing partnerships with other video game companies, as well as through their own games. Players who purchase selected items from Valve or their partners, usually within a specified timeframe, will receive the item(s) advertised.

Means of obtaining promotional items vary. Typically, promotional items are awarded to players who pre-order or purchase the specified game. On other occasions, promotional items have been released to players through other means, such as earning achievements in the game itself. For example, the Earbuds were awarded to players who launched Team Fortress 2 through the Template:W operating system.

Promotional items released before the February 3, 2011 Patch, with the exception of those earned through gameplay, are typically no longer earnable, and can only be acquired through trading or gifting. However, since the introduction of the Genuine Quality, all promo items (with the exception of the Hero's Hachimaki) have been obtainable via one or more alternate methods — purchase, drop, or craft. Promotional items obtained via one of these non-promotional methods do not have Genuine quality, though.
