Valve recently released Counter-Strike 2, the latest addition to the Counter-Strike series. However, this new game came out without MacOS support, marking the end of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Players expressed their dissatisfaction with this decision. Here are the details…
Counter-Strike 2 is unavailable for Mac computers!
Counter-Strike 2 was introduced as an update to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, eliminating the need for players to add a separate game to their libraries. Consequently, players had to download the update.
While Windows users were able to download Counter-Strike 2 and enjoy the game, Mac computer users, unfortunately, were left out. This was because the game was not made compatible with MacOS, as reported.
Let's dive deep into the CS: GO September 29 update patch notes. Here are the details about the latest patch.
According to players, Counter-Strike 2 attempts to run on Mac computers as if it were a Windows-exclusive application, preventing access to the game. This indicates that Valve did not make the game compatible for MacOS users. As a result, some players attempted to return to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
In response to complaints from MacOS users, Valve removed MacOS from the list of supported operating systems on the Counter-Strike 2 page. Valve’s official FAQ page also confirms the lack of MacOS support.
A Mac player who had spent thousands of hours playing CS:GO and invested hundreds of dollars in in-game items expressed their frustration with this situation. The user pointed out Valve’s claim that Windows is not the sole operating system for gaming, expressing their disappointment.
It remains uncertain whether Valve will make Counter-Strike 2 compatible with MacOS, but reports suggest that the company is working on it. Otherwise, Valve could face significant backlash from players, not limited to MacOS users alone.
