| Patches are updates to the game that fix known bugs, glitches, or exploits within the game, and often add new features or balance changes to weapons, maps, or other game elements.
Major updates are patches that add new weapons, game modes, or maps. Previously, major updates had centered around one or two particular classes and included new content released predominantly for that class. More recent updates, however, have focused on a particular theme or holiday celebration such as Halloween.
Patches to the game are deployed to Windows and Mac OS X platforms via Steam, and must be downloaded and applied before the game can be launched. While both platforms retain the same codebase and any updates are released to both simultaneously, the version of the game on Xbox 360 platform is separate and does not receive frequent updates, due to restrictions imposed on game developers by Microsoft. To date, there have been only four patches to Team Fortress 2 on Xbox 360, compared to the 293 patches that have been released to Windows and Mac OS X since 2007.
