Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/u><\/a> \u2014 known to most as CS:GO \u2014 is back on Steam in its own right\u2026 but only if you know where to look.<\/p>\n

Counter-Strike 2<\/u><\/a> regularly tops Steam’s Most Played games list<\/u><\/a> (for example, it hit a peak of 1.3 million players just in the last 24 hours alone). Its predecessor, however, was well-loved, too, yet it was effectively nuked when its home on Steam was replaced as Counter-Strike 2 dropped in 2023<\/u><\/a>. That meant that if you’d wanted to play CS:GO before this update, you would’ve had to dig into the game’s legacy branch via Steam and access it from there. <\/p>\n

A stinging caveat is that the servers have not been resurrected, nor is there any matchmaking, which means you can only play against the bots available to you via Counter-Strike 2’s beta branch. But the fact it’s been given its own store page could \u2014 maybe? \u2014 be a sign that those kinds of things may eventually come back to life. (I wouldn’t hold your breath, though. Just in case!)<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

That hasn’t stopped thousands of players from jumping into the free-to-play shooter, though. At the time of this article’s publication, it had 44,058 concurrent players on Steam \u2014 pretty impressive stuff for a 14-year-old game.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, though, CS:GO won’t pop up in a search for you \u2014 as the store page cautions, “at the request of the publisher, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is unlisted on the Steam store and will not appear in search.” This means you’ll need the direct link<\/u><\/a> to access and download it.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the attorney general of New York, Letitia James, is suing Valve<\/u><\/a>, alleging the platform illegally promotes gambling to children. The AG’s office announced last week that an investigation “found that Valve\u2019s video games, including Counter-Strike 2, Team Fortress 2<\/u><\/a>, and Dota 2<\/u><\/a>, enable gambling by enticing users to pay for the chance to win a rare virtual item of significant monetary value.”<\/p>\n
