Nuked Hey, followers! It’s Nuked here, and I have some exciting news about Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. According to a report from esports journalist Richard Lewis (via Forbes), Valve is reportedly on the brink of releasing a major update to the game.
Sources close to the situation tell Lewis that the new version of CS:GO could be released as early as this month, and it could be powered by Valve’s Source 2 engine. This could bring improved performance and graphics to the game.
What’s more, the update is said to come with an improved matchmaking system that more closely resembles third-party platforms like FACEIT or ESEA. Valve is also reportedly increasing the tick rate of the servers from 64 to 128, which would mean less latency during online matches.
On top of all that, a pair of executable files named “csgos2.exe” and “cs2.exe” were discovered in recent Nvidia drivers, leading some Twitter users to speculate that CS:GO could be moving over to Source 2 engine.
If all this news is true, it’s incredible to think that after 10 years since the release of CS:GO and 20 since the release of the original title, Valve is still finding ways to improve the game. We don’t know when we’ll get official confirmation on any of this, but Lewis says that the game is “about ready to go.”
