Can You Still Play CS:GO After CS2’s Release?

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is no longer playable with the release of Counter-Strike 2 (CS2). A lot of players who were unaware about CS2’s release are shocked that they cannot access CS:GO anymore. If you are wondering what happened to your CS:GO inventory and if you can still access your items, we have the answers you need. But do note that CS:GO is no longer playable as the game has been completely replaced so if you want to play the game after CS2’s release, the answer is that it is not possible officially.

What happened to your CS:GO items and inventory 

When Valve announced Counter-Strike 2, it revealed that all CS:GO items will be transferred over to Counter-Strike 2 and you do not have to worry about losing any items. With CS2 being a direct upgrade for existing CS:GO players, you don’t have to worry about manually transferring your items. When the game releases, all of your items will automatically be classified under Counter-Strike 2 in the Steam Marketplace.

The marketplace prices of the skins should not change much with the release of Counter-Strike but Valve has not revealed any details about CS2’s monetization yet. If you want to keep track of what your inventory is worth before CS:GO transitions to CS2, here’s what you need to do: 

Check your CS:GO/Counter-Strike 2 inventory value

1. Launch Steam and click on your username (next to the Community tab)

2. Click on Inventory

3. Browse through all of your CS:GO/CS2 items and check their current marketplace values

4. You will need to go through all of your items and total the amount

5. While there are third-party tools that can automate this process, we do not recommend linking third-party apps to Steam unless it’s from a verified publisher.

If there are any missing items, you should reach out to Valve’s customer support.
