Valve Abandons Counter-Strike 2 for macOS Due to Lack of Players

Valve has announced that there will be no macOS version of Counter-Strike 2 due to the lack of players on Mac. The decision is based on discontinuing support for older hardware and 32-bit operating systems, which represent less than 1% of active CS:GO players. Mac users who played CS:GO on a Mac between March 22, 2023, and September 27, 2023, will be eligible for a Prime Status Upgrade refund. Valve will offer a legacy version of CS:GO for macOS, but support for this version will end on January 1, 2024. The lack of native support for the Vulkan API on Apple devices is also a factor in Valve's decision.
