To know if you have Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), especially if you have access to the limited test or the full game, here are the key ways to check:
- Check your Steam Library and CS:GO game :
Launch the original CS:GO. If you have been invited to the CS2 limited test, a pop-up notification will appear on the CS:GO main menu inviting you to participate. If you see no such notification and the menu looks unchanged, you likely do not have access yet
- Look for the CS2 Limited Test invite in Steam Support :
Go to your Steam page, click the "Help" option at the top left, then select Steam Support. Navigate to Counter-Strike and check your purchase history or game receipts. If you have access, it will say "Added to your Steam library as part of Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test Invite"
- Requirements for Limited Test access :
To be eligible, you generally need CS:GO Prime status, an active competitive rank, and to play in supported regions. If you meet these but still have no access, you may not have been invited in the current testing wave
- If you have access, CS2 will download via Steam :
After accepting the invite, CS:GO will start downloading the new Source 2 client for CS2, allowing you to play the new version
In summary, the easiest immediate check is to launch CS:GO and see if you get a CS2 invite pop-up. Alternatively, verify your Steam account's game history for a CS2 Limited Test entry. If neither shows anything, you do not currently have CS2 access
