It has finally been confirmed by Valve Software that Counter-Strike 2 will be coming to PC, with a test coming up soon!
After several weeks of being the worst-kept video game secret of 2023 so far, Valve Software has finally confirmed Counter-Strike 2 is on the way. The long-awaited follow up title will be bringing all of the fun you know from the series into a whole new light with updated graphics, new mechanics, improved strategies, and maps you have yet to play on. The game will launch sometime this summer, but in the meantime, they are currently holding a limited test period on Steam for some CS:GO players as we speak. We have some notes below from their site, and you can read a complete FAQ about the test on Steam.
“Counter-Strike 2 is the largest technical leap forward in Counter-Strike’s history, ensuring new features and updates for years to come. All of the game’s new features will be revealed when it officially launches this summer, but the road to Counter-Strike 2 begins today as a Limited Test for select CS:GO players. During this testing period, we’ll be evaluating a subset of features to shake out any issues before the worldwide release. Counter-Strike 2 arrives this summer as a free upgrade to CS:GO. So build your loadout, hone your skills, and prepare yourself for what’s next!”
