Valve

Counter-Strike 2’s August 15 patch notes are here and the latest update just disabled Competitive and Private matchmaking. Topping it off, Italy is also replacing Anubis and Ancients. Here’s the full rundown.

As we grow closer to the full launch of Counter-Strike 2 sometime this Summer, Valve has been regularly releasing updates and tweaking its closed beta, and the August 15 update is no different. 

Despite being a smaller patch in the grand scheme, it nonetheless brings a fair few changes you’ll want to be wary of. Namely, Competitive and Private Matchmaking have been disabled in the limited test. Valve did not clarify why at this point in time.
