Yes, Counter-Strike 2 is completely free to play! If you previously owned CS:GO, you automatically received the free Counter-Strike 2 upgrade when it launched. Plus, all your weapon skins transfer over to CS2 as well!

For over two decades, Counter-Strike has offered an elite competitive experience, and now the next chapter in the CS story begins with Counter-Strike 2. This free upgrade to CS:GO marks the largest technical leap in Counter-Strike’s history, built on the Source 2 engine with modernized rendering, networking, and upgraded Community Workshop tools. Enjoy the game!
