CS2 officially launches worldwide after months of beta testing

CS2 finally went live all around the world as a free upgrade to CS:GO on Sept. 27 following seven months of closed beta testing. The game is now officially Counter-Strike 2 on Steam and a 5.7 GB update has been added for download.

The community has been anticipating the CS2 launch for months, but the rumors intensified after Valve teased it for Sept. 27. While a lot of players thought Valve was just pulling another prank, the developer delivered the goods. Now, everyone with a Steam account will be able to download CS2 and start trying out the changes that were implemented during the beta: dynamic smoke grenades, interchangeable loadouts, and all the upgraded maps.
