Valve Announces Counter-Strike 2

Valve's massively popular FPS gets an engine upgrade and a test starting today.

Valve officially announced Counter-Strike 2 today after weeks of teases, speculation, and rumors. The developer calls this "the largest technical leap forward in Counter-Strike's history" and I'm inclined to believe it.

It was not until I reinstalled the original PC release of The Outer Worlds that I was able to really appreciate the improvements made with the release of The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. Initially, I believed that this looked exactly like the same game that I had played on PC back in late 2019 when it first came out.

Prize money for tournaments can be substantial, but securing a reliable income from such sources is an unrealistic prospect for many. Even the most successful esports players subsidize tournament prizes with other revenue streams, with paid sponsorship and streaming activity providing esports careers with more of a conventional salary model.
