No, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) is not available on Xbox. The game was initially released for Xbox 360 in 2012 but was never ported to newer Xbox consoles like the Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S.

While CS:GO was originally planned to have cross-platform play between PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, this feature was eventually dropped. The Xbox 360 version received no updates after its initial release and its servers were shut down, making it completely unplayable on the platform.

Currently, CS:GO (and its successor Counter-Strike 2) can only be played on:

• PC (Windows)
• Mac OS
• Linux

The game is exclusively available through Steam, Valve's digital distribution platform. There are no plans to bring CS:GO or Counter-Strike 2 to any Xbox console in the future.

For Xbox players interested in similar tactical shooter experiences, I recommend checking out alternatives like:

• Rainbow Six Siege
• CrossfireX
• Insurgency: Sandstorm
• PUBG: Battlegrounds

These games offer comparable tactical gameplay and are fully supported on modern Xbox consoles.

It's worth noting that Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard has sparked speculation about potential future Counter-Strike releases on Xbox, but as of now, there are no official announcements regarding this possibility.

If you're specifically interested in playing Counter-Strike, your best option is to play on PC through Steam, where you'll find the largest player base and the most up-to-date version of the game.
