Counter Strike 2 Drops Today: Release Times, Details, and More
Counter Strike 2 the much-awaited sequel is set to launch today September 27th, 2023. For everyone who missed out on the CS2 beta test, the wait is almost over.
Last week, the official X (previously Twitter) account for Counter-Strike dropped hints about something big happening this Wednesday. They fueled this speculation by updating their header image on Tuesday, September 26th, to read “Dawn of The Final Day”, signaling the end of CS:GO’s dominance.
Furthermore, Twitch made significant changes by renaming the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive category to simply Counter-Strike. This aligns with the anticipation of the CS2 era. With these signs from Valve, all indicators point to a Wednesday release, which is today.
