On installation, Counter-Strike 2 will take up about 35GB of storage space on your storage drive. This figure is based on the current 32.7GB final installation size of CS2 beta. When I got CS2 beta access, the update itself was sized at 26.4GB and, after uncompression, it went higher. So, make sure to have a healthy amount of space on your SSD to install Counter-Strike 2 instantly when it releases.
There should be a short period of time during which Valve will begin its official transition from CS:GO to CS2. As you might know, Counter-Strike 2’s gun skin economy will essentially use the same items owned by players in the previous game but with updated visuals. Currently, while playing the CS2 limited test, I saw my gun skins and many other luxurious finishes costing hundreds of dollars, but those gun skins looked completely different in Counter-Strike 2, thanks to the Source 2 engine.
