Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the fourth game in the Counter-Strike series of games. As of February 2020, Counter-Strike had 24 million monthly active users, more than double the figure from May 2016. As millions of people were encouraged and, in some cases, legally required to stay at home, many people turned to video gaming as a form of entertainment.ĭespite the fact that CS:GO was released some seven years ago in August 2012, the game is still very popular online and has developed a cult following. This figure had peaked 5 months earlier in March at nearly 1.2 million players, no doubt in part due to the coronavirus pandemic which spread across the world in 2020. In August 2021, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) had on average 802.54 thousand concurrent players on Steam.
