Valve launches Counter-Strike 2 on the Source 2 engine, retiring CS:GO after 11 years and migrating all players to the new title.
Counter-Strike 2 officially launches replacing CS:GO after 11 years
Valve officially launched Counter-Strike 2, replacing CS:GO entirely. CS:GO, which launched in 2012 and went free-to-play in 2018, is no longer available as a standalone title. All players are automatically migrated to Counter-Strike 2 upon launch.
CS2 is built on Valve Source 2 engine with sub-tick servers for more responsive gameplay. The IEM and ESL circuits transitioned to CS2 without interruption. Counter-Strike has survived transitions before and emerged stronger each time. Follow all CS2 esports betting coverage at EsportBet.com.
