Game Versions

Version are successive Dota 2 builds that bring new content and balance changes to the game. Most 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.

Some earlier versions were shipped together in one patch. Minor bug fixing versions from DotA Allstars were not ported.

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.
