Dota 2’s 7.41e Patch Brings a Summer Scrub Ahead of The International
Valve's latest Dota 2 update includes a large set of gameplay and content bug fixes, along with new tournament-related features and rewards.
Valve announced the release of Dota 2 Gameplay Patch 7.41e alongside the Summer Scrub, a broad collection of gameplay and content fixes arriving as The International approaches. The update was detailed in a Steam announcement.
The release also brings features tied to the upcoming tournament, including predictions, Fantasy, and Supporter Bundles. Players will also have opportunities to test their skills, earn new Immortals, and unlock additional terrains.
What the Summer Scrub Fixes
The Summer Scrub focuses on the strange edge cases that tend to appear in a game as complex as Dota 2. Valve described the release as a large group of new features and fixes covering both gameplay and content bugs.
The examples called out in the announcement range from an issue involving Abaddon’s taunt to a problem affecting Zeus’s Dota Plus challenge. Valve said the full list is too long for the Steam post, so the complete details are available on the official Summer Scrub 2026 page.
The update follows the broader 7.41 gameplay patch, which introduced vision tools, adjustments to neutral-item crafting, and fixes across the client and item systems. Players can now review the earlier 7.41 gameplay changes for additional context.
With tournament features, new rewards, and a lengthy list of bug fixes arriving together, 7.41e gives Dota 2 players plenty to check before The International gets underway. Tell us what you think of the Summer Scrub, and follow us on X, Bluesky, YouTube, and Instagram.
