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:
