Valve has recently made an official announcement about the release of Counter Strike 2 limited test, the sequel to the popular online multiplayer first-person shooter game. The company is offering a limited test of the game to a select group of fans who meet specific criteria, such as their recent playtime on Valve official servers, trust factor, and Steam account standing.
This beta version will feature Deathmatch and Unranked Competitive matchmaking on the Dust2 map, while future releases will introduce more game modes, maps, and features.
How to join Counter Strike 2 limited test?
To participate in the limited test, players need to enroll and download the game once they receive an invitation from Valve for Counter Strike 2 limited test. The company has emphasized that players will be able to use all their weapon finishes, stickers, and other CS:GO inventory items in the game, but modifying inventory items within the game won’t be allowed.
Additionally, players will earn experience points that count towards CS:GO, and they can stream and make videos about their experience.
What do we know about Counter Strike 2 so far?
Valve has also shared more technical details about the Counter Strike 2 limited test, including the realistic smoke grenades, evolved tick rate, and overhauled maps that have been fully rebuilt from the ground up using new Source 2 tools and rendering features. While there is no set date for how long the limited test will last,
Valve has promised to add more players to the beta over time.
NVIDIA accidentally leaked Counter Strike 2
Recent leaks suggest that a beta version of Counter Strike 2 may be released as early as later this month. While there is no official confirmation from Valve or Steam, increasing speculation from sources such as NVIDIA and well-known leaker @gabefollower suggest that a new version of the popular game is in the works.
Journalist Richard Lewis has also added to the conversation, confirming that a new version of Counter Strike: Global Offensive is in development, and speculating that it will likely be called CS2. While some sources are reporting that the “cs2.exe” file found in the NVIDIA driver update is outdated and no longer relevant, others suggest that a new version of Counter-Strike could still be in development.
While the focus of the new game is still unclear, some speculate that a Source 2 game is currently in the works, which could be a separate project from any Counter-Strike games. It remains to be seen whether this Source 2 game will be related to Counter-Strike in any way, but for now, it appears that players’ skins are safe and that the focus is on other developments.
Regardless, fans of the series are eagerly awaiting any updates on the status of Counter Strike 2 beta, and with the tentative release date set for this month, it won’t be long until we find out more.
Counter Strike 2 release date
Counter-Strike 2 is expected to be released in Summer 2023 and will be available as a free upgrade to CS:GO. With this exciting announcement, the gaming community is eagerly anticipating the full release of the game and the chance to experience the new features and improvements firsthand.
In the meantime gamers who received an invite can start playing Counter Strike 2 limited test to experience the updated version of the most popular FPS game ever.
