OtakGames.net – Valve has officially released their new game, entitled Counter-Strike 2. Gamers can enjoy it for free. After a surprise announcement earlier this year, Valve surprised players once again by suddenly releasing Counter-Strike 2 as an update to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Wednesday after a long beta period. Along with several new gameplay aspects, Counter-Strike 2 brings a few major changes, like weapon refunds and overhauled graphics, to the model that helped its predecessor become one of the most-played Steam games of all time.
However, you need to be reminded that this game is here as an update to the previous version, namely Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. So it’s not a separate sequel, but the same game. Counter-Strike 2 comes with improved graphics and slightly different gameplay. Especially when players accidentally buy the wrong item, and now the funds can be returned.

Gamers do not need to re-learn or understand the game mechanics, considering that the concept is still similar between Counter-Strike 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
So, for those who are curious about what content updates Valve is offering, players can get the game from Steam. But before that, make sure you have good PC specs.
Moreover, the file size of Counter-Strike 2 is quite large. You will need ample storage space of up to tens of gigabytes if you really want to try it out.
