Valve has sent invitations to a selected number of players for the Counter-Strike 2 Limited Beta Test based on various factors like recent playtime on Valve official servers, trust factor, Steam account standing, and more. 

If you are selected, then you will receive a notification in the main menu of CS:GO, and to enter the Limited Test, you will have to select the "ENROLL" option, and the download will begin. Once the download is completed, you will have to launch CS:GO and select the "Limited Test" option to play the Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test.

If you have not been selected right now, it doesn't mean that you will not get access to it at all as Valve has announced that they will be adding more playing to the Limited Beta Test with time. So, it is advised that you should keep on checking CS:GO's main menu.

Initially, the Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test will offer Deathmatch and Unranked Competitive matchmaking on Dust2 only; however, future limited test releases will add other game modes, maps, and features as well.
