CSGO players are reporting that their skins have soared in value after the reveal of Counter Strike 2 earlier this week.
CSGO developer Valve officially announced Counter Strike 2 this week after a series of leaks and teases. Counter Strike 2 is a revamp of the original game, porting the title over to its new Source 2 engine, with a series of graphical improvements and gameplay adjustments. It’s set to launch as a free update to CSGO in Summer 2023, however, there’s an ongoing limited test until the game launches officially. Not only will your progress carry over, but so also will all of the skins and items, which has sent the second-hand skins market into a frenzy.
Just under a year after the game's original launch, Valve introduced the Arms Deal update which added weapon cosmetics into the game, which were available through loot boxes, which players could purchase keys to open. This update formed a virtual economy for CSGO where players could sell these skins on the Steam marketplace for frankly ludicrous amounts.
