Unfortunately, you can't play CS2 on your smartphone using standalone apps for Android or iOS. However, you can run CS2 on your phone using game streaming services like GeForce Now or Steam Link. The main drawback of game streaming is that their services come with a cost.

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. Another noteworthy change was the removal of skyboxes, which served as invisible barriers when lobbing grenades.

If you don't already have CS:GO, you will have to download the game from Steam by pressing “Install.” Once it's downloaded on Steam, open it and click “Play.” You can now play Counter-Strike 2!

Here, go to Installed Files and then click on Browse. You will find yourself in the CS2 installation folder, so note down where it exists. For us, the CS2.exe executable was installed at the following location: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\bin\win64”.
