CS: GO latest update overview

The ol’ Five Seven gets a new tactical adjustment.

Among the list of changes, some refer to the Perfect World, Chinese corporation that publishes CS:GO in China. There have been rumors that CS:GO might even be going free-to-play there, but until we know more we will treat it as just a rumor.

Let us check what is new in the 20MB of the latest patch:

Gameplay changes

  • Shipping more changes to pistols with the goal of emphasising skillful use of the weapons.
