Valve said Counter-Strike 2 would be out this summer, now says it 'launches soon'

...

"The year isn’t quite over but so far we’ve released a huge Steam Client update, Counter-Strike 2 entered into beta (and launches soon) and there are now more than 11,000 titles verified or playable on Steam Deck."

Now, what Valve means by "soon" could mean next week, next month, or next year. I mean, look at what it did to my boy "summer" here: is it really still summer halfway through December? I guess in certain parts of Seattle the answer is yes.

I, for one, am glad they're not going to try to push half done software out the door. I prefer it be in very good shape before it is released.

Don't be these assholes: I don't always test my code but when I do it's in production.

    E: I imagine you'd be one of those guys who would dig though peoples' comment history back on reddit.

    gk99,

    Fine by me, but can I get into the beta, now, please? Went out of my way to get my MM rank back just for CS2 with the boys lmao

    Valve time

    Appoxo,

    Maybe they meant Australian summer?
    Not like it’s always about Europe/North America when talking about dates /s

    Yes. We know. Valve time is a thing.

    According to the table, “soon” is about 2 years.

    See y’all in CS2 in 2025.

    verysoft,

    Game really isn't ready yet, perhaps next year is a more realistic timeline.

    iHUNTcriminals,

    It’s literally just an update… right? Modified maps… what else?

    Iirc I was so disappointed in the review of the update.

    @iHUNTcriminals The engine is completely rewritten and changed. There are new physics in example. This is the base for future updates and changes, which would be impossible before.

    iHUNTcriminals,

    Oh nice! Do you know if they are adding better controller support?

    thingsiplay,

    @iHUNTcriminals I'm not sure about that, but maybe, if it should be playable on Steam Deck. But I have no information regarding that. BTW the game is already played since months as a closed beta, after an invitation.

    Hiuhokiguess,

    Better to release a finished, polished product than to see a release “on time” with a bunch of stupid bugs and poor game play. Valve isn’t stupid, they know release quality is paramount to deadlines.

    Appoxo,

    Not like the CS fan base would rip Valve a new one and also risk the CSGO tournaments and it’s reach.
