Despite having a decade under its belt, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/a> is still in the business of breaking records. In an excellent start to the year, the Valve tactical FPS just beat its own record of the most concurrent player count. <\/p>\n

CS: GO’s recent achievement is proof enough that the game still has more room to expand. Modern FPS games seem to have benefited Valve’s first-person shooter as new players have flooded the classic after trying their hands at other newer products. <\/p>\n

According to a stat site, CS:GO boasts a peak concurrent player record of 1,320,219, followed by Dota 2 and then PUBG. The game beat the record it set in April 2020 by 12,000 players. At the time, the pandemic had a chokehold on the world and limited people to their homes, ultimately benefiting the Valve game. CS:GO had 1,305,714 players who enjoyed playing the game that year. <\/p>\n

CS:GO is one of the four games that have ever reached a million concurrent players alongside Dota 2, PUBG: Battlegrounds, and Lost Ark. The February 11 record showed that despite CS:GO being the oldest inthe FPS gaming genre, it was still as relevant as it had ever been. <\/p>\n

Several of the CS:GO community received the news in a celebratory manner, while others pointed out that the game was yet to make an operation or big update in a while. There were also comments claiming that the new Revolution case and the game’s musical collaboration with Denzel Curry were contributing factors to the players’ boast. <\/p>\n

A few days prior, CS:GO released the new Revolution Case that went live after the tactical first-person shooter’s update on February 9. <\/p>\n

The case contains 17 weapon skins of some of the most used guns in CS:GO, such as the AK-47, the M4A1-S, the M4A4, and the AWP. The M4A4 and AK-47 have red rarity skins, while several have bright neon-like colors. <\/p>\n

This is significantly different from the known CS:GO skins that rarely come out in those shades. The new skins feature several options for players that want upbeat themes. There are also some much sought-after CS:GO gloves in the case. <\/p>\n

Besides the Revolution Case, CS:GO also added a Music Kit from Denzel Curry and a new Espionage Sticker Capsule to its game. <\/p>\n

CS:GO previously lost some of its players’ count in 2022 but recovered its 1 million mark and is still growing. The Valve game initially experienced a dip in 2020 caused by the online era of play and Valorant’s subsequent release. <\/p>\n

The game experienced the most significant drop in years and continued to dip in 2021 for six consecutive months. By July 2021, CS:GO only had 763,523 peak players. <\/p>\n

The newest peak players count was recorded just over an hour before the start of the Intel Extreme Masters<\/a> Katowice 2023 semifinals. Heroic will face off against Natus Vincere in the first game, and later in the day, G2 Esports will compete with Team Liquid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
