Counter strike is free to play and adds battle royale mode

Counter Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most played video games today, although it has had times where it was all the rage, today perhaps a little in the shadow of the Fornite phenomenon. What is a surprise for many, is that the game has become Free to Play, an announcement that nobody expected, since the game is still playing, and selling at a good pace.

Counter Strike is made Free to Play, although it will have a 'Prime' payment mode

The base game is now completely free, giving players instant access to all game modes, and a limited set of items and weapon cases. However, there is also a paid option ($ 15) to achieve "Prime" status, which improves your pairing status and makes you eligible for "Exclusive First Souvenir Items, Thrown Items, and Gun Cases".

In addition to making it a free game, Valve announced that Counter Strike will have a similar Battle Royale mode, Fortnite or PUBG, but with fewer players, from 16 to 18 players. The weapons will behave the same way as in other CS: GO modes, but you will have to fight to find weapons and cash, which you can use to buy more weapons and have them delivered to your position by drones. You can also earn money by completing special mini-missions like contracts and hostage ransoms.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive, better known as CS: GO, is now available for free, you just have to access their Steam page and download it, if they did not have the game in their library yet.
