Counter-Strike Global Offensive’s 10th Birthday Update Deployed
Happy Birthday, My Lovely One!
Valve‘s popular first-person shooter, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, is getting ready to celebrate its 10th birthday. CS:GO’s 10th birthday is on August 22, but its update has been released slightly earlier. On Tuesday, Valve revealed the patch notes for the 10th anniversary, and the exact contents can be found below.
While most players expected a wild outcome, nothing surprising was added to the game besides the birthday coin and the chicken party hats. Either way, the important thing is that the contents are still being decrypted, so maybe something stealthily added will surface. In any case, we’ll keep a close eye on any changes and keep you posted. The update size is 1GB, and its contents can be found below.

We’ve also added the ability to quickly see all items in a case or capsule. Browse to the container in-game and click “inspect items”, then look for the arrows at the top of your screen to click through each item in the container.
