Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve’s ageing but unceasingly popular online first-person shooter, is now free-to-play. But not only that! It’s also just introduced a new Battle Royale mode called Danger Zone.
This isn’t Counter-Strike’s first dalliance with free-to-play, of course; Valve launched of free edition of the game back in September, although that version only permitted players to go up against bots – the whole enterprise being intended as a means for newcomers to familiarise themselves with Counter-Strike’s weapons and maps.
Valve’s new free-to-play release, however, is the real deal, and provides free access to the entire Counter-Strike: Global Offensive experience, multiplayer and all.
