If you want to ensure you’re fully prepared for the launch of Counter-Strike 2, it’s important to make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements. While the official requirements for Counter-Strike 2 haven’t been announced yet, they are not expected to be significantly higher than those of the current version, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Counter-Strike 2 is set to be released in the Summer of 2023, although an exact date has not been revealed. Currently, only a limited test version is available to a select few players. The game will be free-to-play upon launch, so you can save your money for potential computer upgrades if necessary.
Below, you’ll find the minimum system requirements provided by Valve for Windows, macOS, SteamOS, and Linux for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. If your computer meets these requirements, there’s a good chance it will also be able to handle the new game when it launches.
