New Updates for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike 2, Patch Notes and more

In a much-anticipated announcement, Valve released updates for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike 2 on 9th June 2023. Both games receive many updates, improving gameplay, maps, weapons, etc.

The changes start with modifications to the weapon case drops system. In the previous version, players would receive a weapon case after a specific amount of idle playtime. With the update, players will receive a weapon case with their first weekly XP rank up. This change makes the progression system more rewarding and should encourage regular play.

Furthermore, the company revealed that more CS2 Limited Test invites are now out, so if you wanted to play the game, go check it out yourself, you might have received the update.
