It seems that the game files for the beta version have made their way online in the wake of all the news surrounding Counter Strike 2. One of the most well-known and competitive first-person shooter games in the world is Counter Strike: Global Offensive. It debuted in 2012 using the Source engine from Valve.
The engine was first used in 2015 when DOTA 2 was converted to run on it. Source 2 is a more recent version of the engine. Naturally, the question of when CS:GO would receive the Source 2 treatment followed, and now, eight years later, Counter Strike 2 is finally taking place.
Valve started laying the groundwork for the eagerly anticipated redesign of CS:GO in recent weeks. Data miners who discovered Counter Strike 2’s development in a leaked Nvidia driver gave the news to gamers first. When Valve registered several new trademarks pertaining to Counter-Strike, this evidence was confirmed.
It was only a matter of time before Valve formally acknowledged Counter-Strike 2’s existence by announcing that the game would be released in the summer of 2023 following a limited test in which only a small number of players would have access.
The beta game files for Counter Strike 2 have already been posted online.
According to reports, the leaked version can only be used offline, and like any software obtained illegally, it might be infected with malware. It makes sense that there are a lot of eager players who might be tempted if they haven’t been given access to the official limited test, but it’s best to wait patiently for the official release to prevent exposure to potentially dangerous code. In addition, Valve has warned users about Counter-Strike 2 limited test scams and specified how users are invited to participate.
A lot of buzz has been created in the community about Counter Strike 2, which has been hailed as the biggest technical advancement in the franchise’s history. The fact that CS:GO recently broke its all-time concurrent player record for the second time in 2023 is evidence of the game’s enduring appeal. When Counter Strike 2 is formally released later this year, it will be interesting to see how the community as a whole responds.
Many players who weren’t selected to participate in the closed beta still have questions about the game, but some crucial information about Counter Strike 2 has been revealed. Account bans and weapon skins will be carried over to the new game, according to Valve.
