Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) launched on September 27, 2023, marking a new era for Valve’s leading FPS title.
Since its launch, CS2 has topped the Steam charts and become the most-played game on the platform, attracting a fresh wave of players, creators, and streamers.
Many skins and cases, some worth thousands or even millions of dollars, have become highly desired items in gaming. One notable item is the Blue Gem AK-47, discovered after 10 years and worth around $1 million.
Reports suggest that Valve has earned close to $1 billion from CS2 case openings.
According to CS2 Case Tracker, Valve’s estimated revenue from CS2 cases in 2023 was $980 million, with over 400 million cases unboxed and nearly 360 million keys consumed.
If these figures are accurate, CS2 players hope that some of this revenue will be invested back into the game, especially given recent impatience over the lack of updates.
