August 29th, 2026 Steam2 Content Server Dump

This is a sub-page of Development:Team Fortress 2.

'This page or section details content from theAugust 2026 Steam2 Content Server Dump.'''

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: There are a lot of Team Fortress 2 depots inside the Steam2 dump, scrub through all of them for new content.

To do: Move content to separate pages whenever more is found. Only cover content not found in previous leaks, such as the Source Engine asset repo.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Maps#

cp_staredown#

Two early versions of Powerhouse (known as Staredown during development) can be found in different depots:

Layout concepts#

This version, found in Depot 821, consists only of early, incomplete block-outs of parts of the map, including both teams' spawn rooms, BLU's final point, a second point on BLU's side, and the middle point. All of the areas featured in this version of the map would be heavily reworked in later iterations.

Draft version#

This version, found in Depot 826, is a full early version of the map. Its layout is complete but has a number of differences with the final map; most notably, it features an early spawn room concept where both teams could see each other's spawn rooms through their windows. Some of the map's visuals have been artpassed while others remain as rough block-outs with developer textures.

pl_upward#

Two early versions of Upward can also be found in different depots:

Draft #1#

A very early version of Upward with an alpine theme, found in Depot 821. Its layout is generally similar to the final map but has a number of minor differences.

Draft #2#

A slightly more developed version of the above draft, found in Depot 826. This version has some aesthetic changes that bring its architectural style closer to the final map's, though it still maintains its original alpine theme.

testroom_mac#

A really small map to test running Team Fortress 2 on macOS found inside Depot 826. It has three separate rooms. The main one you spawn in, with a couple of props and pickup items, and two very untextured rooms with nothing but a few pickup items and walls.

BotTestMap#

A fairly large map to test bots in Team Fortress 2, found inside Depot 821 and 826. It has two spawns, one for the RED team and one for the BLU team. A giant castle with a hedge maze in front contains a BLU capture point that the RED team has to attack and capture. Inside the castle are a couple of supply cabinets and the BLU team spawn.
