After weeks of speculation, Valve has confirmed that Counter-Strike 2 is coming this summer, as a free upgrade to the already free-to-play CS:GO. It will, the developer claims, be the “largest technical leap forward in Counter-Strike’s history”.
That’s perhaps not too surprising, given CS:GO is over a decade old now, and technology has come on in leaps and bounds since 2012. The game will be built on Valve’s own Source 2 engine which powers the likes of Dota 2 and VR-exclusive Half-Life: Alyx.
