CS:GO beats its concurrent player record for the second time in two weeks
Despite relea൲sing in 2012, Counter-Strike is still bea🧔ting personal records

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has just surpassed its🌳 concurrent player count foꦇr the second time in two weeks, despite the game releasing just over a decade ago.
As revealed on , CS:GO's concurrent player count has jumped up for the second time in two weeks. Previously, we reported that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive had reached a new all-tim𓆏e peak player cou♌nt when it jumped from 1,301,348 players to 1,320,219 over one weekend. Now, almost two weeks later, the same thing has happened as the Valve FPS's player co𓆉unt has now increased from a peak of 1,320,219 to 1,324,800 concurrent players.
What's interesting about꧟ this trend is that Counter-Strike: Global Offence isn't exactly a new game. In fact, it was initially released on Steam back in August 2012 - a whole 11 years ago.
At the time of writing this, it's still sitting right at the top of Steam's most-played games list sitting behind the likes of other heavy hitters such as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hogwarts Legacy, which even before its release was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:climbing up the Steam charts, and Goose Goose Duck, which recently got an unexpected boost after kpop group member V of BTS streamed it.
What's an even bigger coincidence is that around this time three years ago, CS:GO's concurreꦍnt plﷺayer count had another significant increase. In February 2020, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive managed to gain over 25,000 players over a 24-hour p꧂eriod. We're not sure what happens to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players in February, but it's p♏retty weird that this has happened twice.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertaiꦚnment team every now and then.
