The CSGO sequel is officially launching in just a few months but you can get in on the action early with the Counter Strike 2 limited test, which is available to play right now.
After Valve dropped a not-so-subtle Counter Strike 2 tease earlier this week, whipping the community up into a frenzy, it finally went ahead and dropped the Counter Strike 2 release date and gameplay reveal yesterday. Along with videos detailing all of the changes and improvements coming to the game – which will replace CSGO when it releases this summer – was the news of a Counter Strike 2 limited test which is live now.
Players can hop into it now, although there are a few caveats, which we'll get into below. So it's not a free-for-all, unfortunately. On the plus side, the FAQ suggests there'll be a number of limited tests between now and the Counter Strike 2 release, so if you don't get in this time, you may have more luck in the next run. Or Valve may drop an open beta ahead of launch.
