Counterstrike : GO is now free to play!
As of 6th December, you can now download and play Counterstrike online without having to buy anything!
Players who previously purchased the game are granted 'Prime Status' which allows them to matchmake with only other prime users. This is purchasable for those who want it (and, i believe, can still be 'earned' by reaching level 21 in-game, though Ive yet to confirm that personally).
A few months ago, Valve released a 'free' version of Counterstrike : GO which essentially limited you to offline modes and watching other people play, but as of now, you can play the whole thing for free with no restrictions.
There's also a new mini battle royale mode been added , called Danger Zone, to mix it up a little, squads of 1, 2, 3 or 4 players in a battle to the death, small map, 18 max player count makes for a much faster experience than other Battle Royales I've played (such as fortnite, PubG, Call of Duty ).
if you've ever been wanting to give it a try, or feel like joining in with friends or hopping into the CS division events, nows your chance!
