In September 2023, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) was upgraded to Counter-Strike 2. As of March 2024, Counter-Strike 2 had 1.52 million peak concurrent players on Steam, down from an all-time high of 1.5 million during the month of the game's update. CS2 completely replaced CSGO on Steam.
Counter Strike still going strong
Despite the fact that CS:GO was released some seven years ago in August 2012, the game is still very popular online and has developed a cult following. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the fourth game in the Counter-Strike series of games. As with its predecessors, the game takes the form of a multiplayer first-person shooter in which two teams are pitted against each other in a variety of different game modes. After more than a decade, the game's sequel was published on Steam.
