Team Fortress 2 61GB Leak Features Unreleased Maps, Models, And More

2023 is already off to a robust start.

Team Fortress 2 has proved itself as a central multiplayer FPS title since its inception. It oriented FPS gaming to most low-end PC gamers due to its austere visuals merged with fantastic competitive gameplay. Moreover, the game is still more than just a set of memories recalled by gamers once in a while, retaining its huge popularity. 

Recently, TF2 has witnessed its biggest leak yet, and it has convulsed its usually stabilized community. A staggering 61GB-sized data leak has recently emerged seemingly out of nowhere on the web, surprising Team Fortress 2, and the whole gaming sphere. The entry’s entire asset repository has surfaced online.

The leak features a slew of never-seen-before footage, including assets, models, maps, PSDs, VMFs, and much more that remains to be explored by the excited players.


Major Takeaway

  • Team Fortress 2 has seen the largest leak in its history; over 61GB of data concerning TF2 has surfaced online. The community is already diving into the large pool of files to locate enticing details like unreleased assets, maps, models, PSDs, VMFs, and much more.
  • The leak contains some intriguing files like old weapon models of the older bone saw, and a blue sawed-off shotgun are featured. An unknown model concerning a three-legged robot was also already discovered in the surfaced files.
  • Moreover, maps such as vip_hunted, mvm_mminingtower, mvm_forest, trainyard, mercenary park beta, and the original powerhouse map are also included. There are also in-development maps that never made it into the actual TF2, and the others are entirely blank.
  • The recent 61GB leak has been barely touched by the community, and we may find some more mesmerizing discoveries in the coming days.

Richter Overtime on Twitter has been tinkering with the huge 61GB Team Fortress 2 leak to find all the gripping tidbits. The community is dubbing it the most prominent leak in TF2’s history, and it is an ample milestone for a game that is known for its eventful life. However, the fans have barely scraped the surface of the biggest leak of this year so far.

You can scroll down to see most of the major spottings located by the community so far in the embedded tweets below.

The leak features Valve’s asset repository, meaning it features all the official content that could have been included in the game. For example, weapon models, such as an older bone saw model, and a blue sawed-off shotgun are also featured in the leak, firing off nostalgia for the veteran players in the TF2 community.

Richer has been jotting down all the interesting maps, models, and assets with some being very incomplete or random. The 61GB files have made it possible for the community to dissect the vast resources of Team Fortress 2, out of which most never made it into the released versions.

The Team Fortress 2 leaked files also include maps, such as “vip_hunted, mvm_mminingtower, mvm_forest, trainyard, mercenary park beta,” and the wistful powerhouse map. Furthermore, an unused payload race map called “pinecrest” has also been spotted in the gigantic leak files.

Moreover, there is more surfaced data about various types of maps, most of which are barren textures, while some retain a few details that tell a broader story. The leaked maps vary from in-dev builds with some particulars to entirely empty templates that were seemingly deserted for one reason or another. 

There are many inclusions in the enormous file that are difficult to explain, as it remains unclear what purpose these findings would have played in the game if it was included. For instance, the files also include a model of a three-legged robot, which was never included in the official Team Fortress 2 and remains an enigma.

The Team Fortress 2 fans have shown swiftness in locating sequels to maps that resemble the official ones like the intriguing dustbowl; for instance, a map called “dustbowl2” has already been sighted. Additionally, Cut modes like Raid have also been seen in the leak. 

It is worth mentioning that the leak is quite recent, and the community is only starting to immerse in it; there is a bundle of 61GB to scrutinize after all. Regardless, we can anticipate finding some unpredictable hidden treasures over the next few weeks as the Team Fortress 2 community explores through plenty of files.

Team Fortress 2’s community is well-renowned to be among the most loyal and supportive of the game. The TF2 fans have raised banners against hackers and known issues plenty of times in the past. The new 61GB leak concerning TF2’s asset repository may breathe new life into the alluring FPS experience and its community.
