Valve has confirmed the availability of its team-based first-person-shooter (FPS), Team Fortress 2 for Mac. Regarded as one of the most fun games ever made, the title is now available at a discount via Steam, Valve’s online platform for games with over 25 million accounts worldwide, the company has confirmed in a report.

Softpedia reported yesterday that Valve had posted an encrypted message on the official TF2 blog, signaling that Team Fortress 2 was coming to the Mac. “Big things are happening RIGHT NOW at Valve,” the post read. “Things involving cultivated tree-fruit. BIG things. Things that rhyme with ‘grapple.’ Things that rhyme with ‘Speem Gortress zmavailable on the Babac.’ Not today. But tomorrow. BIG THINGS. Stay tuned…” Valve stated.

“Like all the titles Valve has brought to the Mac platform, TF2 features Steam Play allowing gamers to make one purchase to play the game on both the PC and Mac,” Valve is now happy to confirm. “In addition, TF2 supports cross platform play -- so Mac gamers can play against/with PC gamers,” the developer of some of the most popular video games reveals.

Valve is throwing in a free set of ‘earbuds’ for a favorite player character to those who purchase TF2 for the Mac. Those who make the buy over the weekend will save 50% off the regular price. “Or, try the game now via the Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend happening now on Steam,” Valve adds, trying to entice Mac gamers.

The company behind popular video games like Half Life and Portal also reveals that, “In addition to all the TF2-Mac goodness, a new single player training mode has been rolled out for both PC and Mac.” Softpedia readers can begin by downloading Steam for Mac using the download link below. Team Fortress 2 costs just ten bucks for now, but will return to its regular $20 price as soon as next week kicks off.
