Counter-Strike Hitting Consoles, PCs August 21
Valve announced this morning that the next version of Counter-Strike, dubbed Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, will hit PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and both PC and Mac on Steam for approximately $15 on August 21 of this year.
Courtesy of Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment (Counter-Strike: Source, Defense Grid: The Awakening), CS:GO is intended to introduce the classic adversarial shooter to new audiences with updated versions of content that CS players have been shooting each other for nearly 13 years.
CS:GO also includes the features gamers expect out of a modern online game: matchmaking, leaderboards, and the like.
Check back later in the week for hands-on impressions from the GI team on the show floor at E3 2012 here in Los Angeles.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
