Counter Strike 2 is coming, and it's immediately become one of our most anticipated upcoming PC games of 2023. That's because it has been almost a decade since Counter-Strike: Global Offensive launched, and because Valve is teasing that "Counter-Strike 2 is the largest technical leap forward in Counter-Strike's history." There's new tech to reduce input lag, a focus on overhauled visual effects and lighting, and changes being made to the most iconic CS: GO maps.
The Counter Strike 2 reveal isn't just long-overdue, it's also been expected. On the same day that CS: GO broke its all-time concurrent user record, players discovered NVIDIA's driver files which indicated that a Source 2 powered sequel was on the way. Then just a couple of weeks later, a trademark application made the rumors of an imminent Counter Strike 2 beta seem almost certain. Well, now we know that Counter Strike 2 is real, it's a new game for 2023, and below you'll find everything else we know about it so far.
