If you already have CS:GO on your PC, you should see Counter-Strike 2 in your Steam inventory. CS:GO will have been essentially replaced. If this is true for you, simply update the game and the Source 2 upgrades will be automatically installed onto your PC.

The eagerly awaited sequel to CS:GO, Counter-Strike 2, has officially launched and is accessible to all players without any charge. Despite its decade-long legacy, CS:GO's popularity hasn't waned, and the Counter-Strike series has been a staple for over 20 years.

CS2 broke away from the darker visuals of CS:GO and adopted a more vibrant and discernible environment. This change in the visual realm not only freshens the game's ambiance but introduces a new mood.

How many gigabytes does CS2 weigh? Despite the system requirements, Valve's shooter is much smaller than 80GB. While CS:GO took up around 20GB on the hard drive, CS 2 now requires significantly more and weighs just over 43GB.
