Counter-Strike GO Release Date And Pricing Announced

June 4, 2012

Interested in Counter-Strike Global Offensive? If not, you should be.

Valve has announced that CS: GO will be releasing on August 21st, 2012. Better yet, it'll be offered for only $15 on three major platforms: Steam, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live.

With a release date edging before its major competition—Medal of Honor: Warfighter and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2—as well as a budget price, the decision on whether or not to get CS: GO has just become a lot easier.

The PC version of CS: GO currently has a beta underway, and that's the best way for you to get your hand on what is going to be an evolutionary step for the series.
