CS:GO will be freely avaible for offline play
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) has seen a lot of changes as of late, with the brand-new Panorama UI and even a new weapon making its way to the game. Valve has done a great job so far even though some players might still have a few issues with the Panorama UI, especially on lower-end systems. Now, Valve has made two big announcements!
First off the bigger news: CS: GO will be freely available later today for offline play and GOTV viewing. You will have to install the game from here via the Steam Store and you won’t have to pay a cent. Further, Valve has also added tournament items for the upcoming FACEIT 2018 London CS: GO Major Championships and the London 2018 Pick’Em Challenge.
Check out the full patch notes on the page linked above.
The second big announcement is, that the Panorama UI will be the only UI supported with today’s update and the Scaleform UI will no longer be supported even if you use launcher option “-legacyscaleformui”. With this change, Valve has also added “better support” for the Panorama UI on low-end PCs.
