Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) is a first-person shooter video game which is a part of
the Counter-Strike series. It was announced to the public on August 12, 2011, and is developed
by Valve Corporation and their partner, Hidden Path Entertainment. The game was later released
on August 21, 2012 for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, and OS X and later Linux
as a downloadable title.
Development
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive started off as an Xbox 360 port of Counter-Strike: Source by
Hidden Path Entertainment. Seeing this as an opportunity to expand the franchise, Valve turned it
into an entirely new game.
Jess Cliffe confirmed the title "Global Offensive" on the official Steam forums on August 11, 2011,
while Valve later confirmed with its official announcement on August 12, 2011
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive uses the latest version of the Source engine and is not built off
of Counter-Strike: Source. After the success of the previous game, Valve wanted the newest
game in the franchise to cater to both the casual and competitive community by including a
matchmaking system as well as support for dedicated servers.
Valve announced the beta would begin in October, but after receiving feedback from professional
players who had been invited to playtest earlier versions of the beta, Valve decided to delay the

beta. After addressing the majority of the issues the closed beta started on November 30, 2011 to
a pool of around 10,000 select players. After almost a year of the closed beta, Valve opened the
beta up starting August 14, 2012 to anyone who had pre-ordered the game.
As of yet, the console versions have not been updated and are extremely different when
compared to their Steam counterpart. It is currently unknown whether or not Valve has plans for
updating these versions.
Updates to the game after its release can be tracked at Valve's Product Updates channel. A
community grassroots effort to better document, organize, and track the resolutions of existing
bugs and issues has been acknowledged by Valve and the unofficial CS:GO Bugs and Issue
Tracker is maintained by the 64bitVPS Gaming Community.CSGO
