Counter-Strike 2 ending assist for macOS and older PCs
After years of hope, Valve lastly launched Counter-Strike 2 in direction of the top of September. The sport – which sees it changing CS:GO – exploded in reputation in a single day. Nonetheless, for these on older methods, the up to date model of the long-lasting FPS will not be supported.
In a current submit on the Steam Support web page, the message reads that Valve will stop supporting Counter-Strike 2 on “older {hardware}, together with DirectX 9 and 32-bit working methods.” So should you’re nonetheless working Home windows XP or older, you’re going to be out of luck.

For these on Mac, issues appear worse. The submit goes on to say that the developer will “not assist macOS” in any respect. These outdated PCs and the whole macOS customers solely account for round one p.c of gamers, Valve says.
As a substitute, you’ll get this…
Whereas Counter-Strike 2 will probably be transferring ahead with completely 64-bit Home windows and Linux working methods, those that are on older machines are being provided a ‘legacy model’ of CS:GO. Nonetheless, assist for this may solely be ongoing till January 1, 2024, although the sport will “nonetheless be out there.”
freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: “destructoidcom_incontent”, slotId: “destructoidcom_incontent_414766_2” });
This legacy model is a “frozen construct” of CS:GO and can include all of the options of the sport, simply not official matchmaking. Valve says those that can not play Counter-Strike 2 are eligible for “Prime Standing Improve” refunds, although there are some provisos to that.
Regardless of the hype surrounding this up to date model of the legendary Counter-Strike: World Offensive, the sport at the moment has a “Combined” evaluate rating on Steam. A few of this may very well be as a result of CS:GO not being out there, and the elimination of assist for macOS and older PCs would possibly see additional criticisms heading the sport’s approach.
