Team Fortress 2 was released in 2007 through Steam, and for over a decade it continued to get updates and patches consistently.. But after a while that attention started to dwindle, and the game saw itself the victim of hoards of boats and a lack of content. In July 2023, valve surprised the players with a new official patch, and apparently, the players are so happy with the added content that the game has reached a new record of concurrent players.
