Counter-Strike 2 limited beta test will be available on PC only, and if you have its access and want to play it on Mac, you will have to use Boot Camp. It will install Windows on your Mac that will let you play Counter Strike 2, but make sure that your Mac has an Intel chip and it has at least 64 GB of free space and in case of iMac Pro or Mac Pro, you should as much free storage as your Mac.

Talking about Counter Strike 2's global version, there is no official announcement regarding its availability on Mac. However, given that CS:GO can be played on the platform, CS2 will also be released for Mac players; otherwise, you will have to use Boot Camp to play it.

We will update this page once we have more information about it, so make sure to keep an eye on it.
