Good news: Valve finally released a new game. Unfortunately, not all is well over at Counter-Strike 2. In addition to the negative reviews, it appears that Valve intentionally left some players out of the first-person shooter.
While Valve touts the newest version of Counter-Strike as "the largest technical leap in CS history", the game won't be on macOS. Also affected are gamers still running older PCs, including DirectX 9 and 32-bit operating systems. Counter-Strike 2 will be exclusive to 64-bit Windows and Linux platforms.
Counter-Strike 2 represents the largest technical leap in CS history, and our goal is to continue to develop Counter-Strike for years to come," Valve said in a Steam post.
"As technology advances, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue support for older hardware, including DirectX 9 and 32-bit operating systems. Similarly, we will no longer support macOS. Combined, these represented less than one percent of active CS:GO players. Moving forward, Counter-Strike 2 will exclusively support 64-bit Windows and Linux.
