The International 2022 Swag Bag is almost back at full power

A single gesture of goodwill from Valve in the form of a Swag Bag was enough to bring thousands of new and returning active players to Dota 2. The game’s servers were even caught off guard, with the player count surging to new highs, and Valve had to limit the players that could claim their rewards to reduce the load on the servers. It looks like the demand’s getting under control, however, as more players have been able to claim their Swag Bags.

When the Swag Bag was first released on Oct. 26, Dota 2’s Game Coordinator also went down, meaning active players weren’t able to queue up for a game. Valve’s solution to the problem allowed players to continue playing Dota, but it required others to wait to claim their free Arcana and battle pass.
