Deadlock: How to Invite Friends to the Closed Playtest

Gaining admission to Deadlock depends on invites sent by active playtest members.
Following months of invitations arriving in Steam account mailboxes, Valve confirmed the title's closed testing phase. Admission continues to be handled exclusively via invitations distributed by testers.
Players already enrolled in the session can invite companions directly via the primary in-game interface.
