Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most popular competitive shooters in the world. This installment, Counter-Strike: GO, was first released on August 21, 2012.
Once again, this veteran game is breaking records for the number of concurrent players, as the game witnessed a new boom in the last 24 hours, raising the number of concurrent players at the same time to more than one million and 300 thousand concurrent players at the same time, as per numbers reported on Steam Chart.
This is the second time Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has surpassed 1 million players in less than a month, with CS:GO reaching its peak concurrent player count three weeks ago with 1,320,219 players. Incredible numbers for a ten-year-old game.
These numbers are unrivaled by any other title, except for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, which has already seen 3 million players synchronized during the Covid-19 quarantine. The same is true for Dota 2 and Lost Ark, which have 1.3 million players.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive hosts world championships in the esports category. So its popularity isn't surprising, but tell us if you're a fan.
