Game Versions

Versions are successive Dota 2 builds that bring new content and balance changes to the game. Most major versions are first tested on the test client.

Dota 2 Era
This is a list of versions released after the launch of the Dota 2 Beta. New heroes are listed under the version in which they were created by the developer, not when they were ported to Dota 2. For that information, see Patches. All Dota 2 game versions have been developed by Icefrog and Valve.

Some earlier versions were shipped together in one patch. Minor bug fixing versions from DotA Allstars were not ported. Click on a version number to view the full changelog.

DotA Allstars Era
These builds were released for DotA Allstars prior to the release of Dota 2. Early patch notes were often very brief and did not detail all changes. Some earlier patches may be missing from this list. Please help add any missing versions or notes.
