Counter-Strike 2 is Coming - Beta Expected Soon 

“The tentative release date for the beta is in this month of March with April 1st at the outside”
by Joe Wilcock on March 06, 2023   



Renowned esports journalist Richard Lewis has confirmed that the highly anticipated sequel to the iconic first-person shooter game, Counter-Strike, is set to enter its beta phase later this month. Lewis has put any doubts about the sequel’s existence to bed, but he is still unsure about the nature of Counterstrike 2 and whether it will replace the original or not. Many fans and outlets alike believe the next version of Counterstrike will merge with its predecessor like Overwatch 2 has done recently. If this is not the case then there is potential for huge controversy considering the amount of money spent worldwide on cosmetics. 
 

“The new version is almost certainly set to be released under the working title Counter-Strike 2 and the tentative release date for the beta is in this month of March with April 1st at the outside. 

The game is also set to include a much-improved match-making system with features that it is hoped would make the need for third-party pugging services unnecessary.”

Counter-Strike, developed by Valve Corporation, was first released in 2000 and has since become one of the most influential and popular games in esports history. The game's success has been attributed to its simple yet addictive gameplay, which has been refined over the years through updates and patches.

Valve's CEO, Gabe Newell, praised the original game and its impact on the gaming industry: "Counter-Strike is a game that has stood the test of time. It's a testament to the game's quality that it is still being played competitively almost two decades after its release. The game's influence on the gaming industry cannot be overstated."

As of March 2023, CS: GO has over 25 million players on Steam and consistently ranks in the top 10 most-played games on the platform. In terms of time played, CS: GO has an impressive player engagement rate. According to Steam's player statistics, the average CS: GO player spends around 300 hours playing the game. However, many players have logged thousands of hours in the game, with some professional players having played over 10,000 hours. It is widely believed that 10,000 hours is what it takes to be a master in any given field, and there are plenty of Counter-Strike masters out there. 

As Valve continues to refine the game through beta testing, it's clear that Counter-Strike 2 is poised to make a significant impact on the gaming industry, much like its predecessor did almost two decades ago.
