Counter-Strike 2 (also colloquially referred to as Counter-Strike Source 2 or CS:GO Source 2) is an video game developed by Valve. Announced on March 22, it was planned to be released around Summer 2023, but later it was delayed to September 27, 2023. The game is a remaster of 
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with new graphics, new contents and technical improvements. It is developed in Valve’s own Source 2 engine, the successor to Source. Prior to its release, Valve added users via CS:GO's game menu to the playtest.
This game has been released in September 27, 2023, completely replacing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. However this does not apply to the console version of CS:GO (for PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360), which remains available for purchase.
The game was generally positively received by critics. Player response to the game was however, mixed, primarily as a result of removed content and features that CS:GO had, CS:GO being delisted on the store, and the game was incompatible with their older PC, incompatible with macOS, or having performance and other technical issues. The Metacritic user reviews was later review bombed, alongside with Steam, which caused the recent reviews to drop to "Mixed".
