The BLAST.tv Austin Major is fast approaching!

Activate your Austin 2025 Viewer Pass and set your Pick'Ems before the first matches start, and you'll be well on your way to upgrading your Challenge Coin and earning Souvenir Tokens. Speaking of which...


Just like previous Majors, you'll have the opportunity to claim a memento from the match of your choice. But this time, if you choose a playoff match, you'll receive an all new Souvenir Highlight Package.

Available exclusively for playoff stage matches, Souvenir Highlight Packages contain a souvenir weapon with an attached charm that features a video highlight from the playoff map you selected. Your weapon's description will include information about the highlight, and you can view the attached clip in your CS2 inventory, in Steam, or while spectating a teammate in-match.


We're excited for everyone to get their chance to pick up a playoffs-exclusive Souvenir Highlight Package, but they will take some time to put together. So stay tuned—Souvenir Highlight Packages will be redeemable shortly after the Major comes to a close!

An update has been released for Portal:

- Fixed a client crash in particles.
- Improvements to main menu layout across all resolutions.
- Fixed effects to not produce blood spray when getting shot.

Like a dust storm on the horizon, the BLAST.TV Austin Major is fast approaching. Join us June 3rd as the first stage of the major gets underway!

Featuring more teams than ever before, this Major promises to be the most competitive yet. And you can start supporting your favorite teams today with the Austin 2025 Viewer Pass!


Your activated Austin 2025 Viewer Pass includes a coin that you can upgrade by playing the Pick'Em challenge, along with unlimited team graffiti for the duration of the event so you can show your support everywhere you play. You'll also have the opportunity to earn (and purchase) Souvenir Tokens, redeemable for a memento from the match of your choice.


Along with the Viewer Pass and Pick'Em Challenge, today we're releasing tournament stickers featuring the logos of every participating team and the autograph of every participating player. With a bit of Texas flair, Austin Major stickers can be found in a variety of finishes so you can find the perfect look for your collection.


So mark your calendar, dust off your boots, and join us in Austin for Counter-Strike's biggest Major yet!


But that's not all!

We've partnered with Games Workshop to celebrate the Warhammer Skulls 2025 event by releasing four Warhammer 40,000-themed sticker capsules.

Themed after Warhammer 40,000 decal sheets, you'll find the Warhammer 40,000 Adeptus Astartes, Traitor Astartes, Imperium, and Xenos Sticker Capsules in-game now!

If you ask people their favorite season, nobody picks Spring. Why? Because Spring is terrible. It's too warm to ski, too cold to swim, it rains a lot, and there aren't even any free-candy monster holidays like you get in the Fall.

In fact, the only good thing about Spring is Dota's sometimes-annual Spring Update. So the good news is it's here, it's called Spring Forward 2025, and it's pretty great this year! The bad news: this marks the point of Spring where there's nothing left to look forward to. Hopefully you can just power-Dota your way through to Summer.

• Rendered viewangle adjustments due to recoil are now calculated per frame.

For the last ten years, we've had the pleasure of watching a veritable parade of talented Dota fans pour their hearts into crafting short film tributes to the community and the game we all love. A select number of those creations even made grand debuts on the main stage of The International, broadcast to viewers around the world.

This year will be no different! In fact, we're happy to declare the Dota 2 Short Film Contest officially open for a new round of submissions. Filmmakers will have until 3:00pm PDT on August 17th, 2025 to submit their short film creations of 90 seconds or less to the Dota 2 Steam Workshop to be eligible for consideration.

All Dota players are welcome to visit the Workshop to discuss, vote on their favorites, and help us select the best entries. The top ten finalists will be showcased as part of The International live broadcast. After reviewing the Workshop ratings and discussions, Valve will nominate the top entries to be featured in the Dota client for a final voting process by the community to determine the winners.

The top three selections will score prizes of $25,000, $10,000, and $5,000, and each of the other top ten finalists will win $500. (If you happened to miss the winners from last year, or just want to enjoy them again, the top three entries from 2024 were At Any Cost by dmurio, Support by Nightfury Treann, and The Sphere Master by Mikhail Pakhomov.)

Visit the Dota 2 Short Film Contest site for more information and guidelines on the submission process. And be sure to stop by the Workshop page regularly to help review the submissions you would like to see showcased at The International, coming to you live from Hamburg in September.

An update has been released for Portal:

- Fixed the executable stack error on Linux.
