As Counter-Strike 2 draws near, esports fans take a moment to say goodbye to CS:GO

Counter-Strike 2 seems closer than ever, as Valve continues its closed Counter-Strike 2 beta testing to hone the huge, free update to the competitive FPS game that sits consistently atop the most-played charts on Steam. But with the window set for the Counter-Strike 2 release date getting smaller by the day, it might not be long before we can all finally get our hands on the CSGO sequel.

What exactly is involved when a publisher decides to partner with AMD for a game? An increasing number of titles have been doing it, and many have noted this seems to result in those games only featuring AMD’s FSR upscaling tech (rather than NVIDIA’s DLSS) at launch. It was true with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and will also be the case with Starfield. That said, it’s just been revealed Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will have FSR and DLSS despite being an AMD partner game. So, what’s the deal here?

Counter-Strike 2 isn’t here just yet, at least not in full, but the upcoming FPS game has fans all over the world excited. Valve has kept the hype going with its limited playtest, but many players have been awaiting news of an open beta or early access. The team behind Steam has been hard at work improving Counter-Strike 2 with updates to its limited test, and it looks like the most recent one may actually mean some kind of CS2 release is in sight.

The latest Counter-Strike 2 patch potentially signals a drastic overhaul to game length in the Valve shooter, as competitive and private matches are disabled, and a fan-favorite map is added to the CSGO, FPS game sequel. With the Counter-Strike 2 release date likely on the horizon, it seems Valve is reinventing how competitive games will work by lowering the amount of rounds and cutting one alternate mode entirely. The Counter-Strike 2 limited test also gets some revised character models and adjustments to the all-important smoke grenades.

The father of the Final Fantasy series has high praise for Final Fantasy 16.

Part League of Legends, part Genshin Impact, part Fortnite: Eternal Return is a MOBA with a difference. While that may sound like quite the genre soup, Nimble Neuron has managed to intertwine Fortnite’s crafting with Genshin Impact’s art style and LoL’s top-down action and create something truly unique. Don’t believe me? Well, Eternal Return‘s stats are hard to argue with.

Sad news today, folks. Our excellent guides writer Rebecca is moving on to pastures new. Specifically, pastures that have had the letters and numbers VG247 mown into them, as Rebecca is beginning a new guides journey at our dear sister site starting next week. We wish her all the best in her new adventures, follicking in the fields of Animal Crossing and other console-based delights, although I'll personally be very sad to lose my fellow Zero Escape and Danganronpa liker (the placement of these games in next year's RPS 100 is now in serious trouble, folks, I'm telling ya now). But before we get too deep in the doom and gloom, come and bid her farewell in the comments below.
