Team Fortress 2

2007 Valve First-person shooter Updated 25 Jul 2026

Team Fortress 2 is a 2007 first-person shooter developed by Valve, a class-based multiplayer game beloved for its distinctive stylized art and sharp humour, released as part of the Orange Box bundle. Players choose from nine wildly different classes, each with a unique role, weapons, and personality in objective-based team combat.

The game paired warm, cartoonish visuals inspired by mid-century commercial illustration with finely balanced class design, from the speedy Scout and healing Medic to the entrenched Heavy and backstabbing Spy, encouraging teamwork across modes like Capture the Flag, Control Point, and Payload. Valve supported it for years with free content updates, comedic Meet the Team character shorts, and a pioneering in-game economy of tradable cosmetic hats and items that shaped the free-to-play and microtransaction landscape when the game itself went free.

Team Fortress 2 became one of the most enduring multiplayer games ever made, still actively played today through digital platforms. Its charm and design keep it a beloved fixture of online shooters.
