Valve’s statement read, “Counter-Strike 2 represents the largest technical leap in CS history, and our goal is to continue to develop Counter-Strike for years to come. As technology advances, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue support for older hardware, including DirectX 9 and 32-bit operating systems. Similarly, we will no longer support macOS. Combined, these represented less than one percent of active CS:GO players. Moving forward, Counter-Strike 2 will exclusively support 64-bit Windows and Linux.”
Valve assured users of older systems that if they encounter difficulties launching Counter-Strike 2, they will still have access to a legacy version of CS: GO, but full support will be terminated on January 1, 2024.
