No, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) is not available on PS5. The game has never been released for any PlayStation console, including the PS5, and remains exclusively available on PC through Steam and macOS platforms.

The main reason for this is that Valve, the company behind CS:GO, has historically focused on PC gaming. While some Valve games like Portal and Half-Life have made their way to consoles, CS:GO has remained a PC-exclusive title since its release in 2012.

However, PS5 players interested in similar experiences can try these alternatives:

- Rainbow Six Siege
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
- Apex Legends
- Valorant (coming to consoles in future)

It's worth noting that Counter-Strike 2, the successor to CS:GO released in 2023, is also exclusively available on PC with no announced plans for console releases.

For the best competitive first-person shooter experience on PS5, I recommend trying Rainbow Six Siege, as it offers similar tactical gameplay and round-based matches like CS:GO.

If you're specifically interested in playing CS:GO, you'll need to use a PC with Steam installed. The game runs well even on modest hardware, making it accessible for most computer users.

The good news is that CS:GO is free-to-play on PC, so you can try it without any upfront cost if you have access to a compatible computer.

To summarize: You cannot play CS:GO on PS5, and there are currently no plans to bring the game or its successor to PlayStation consoles. Your best option is to either play it on PC or choose from the available tactical shooters on PS5.
