Counter-Strike 2 does not support cross-platform play. The game is exclusively available on PC, maintaining its traditional focus on competitive PC gaming with mouse and keyboard controls.

Cross-platform gaming allows players on different devices (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, mobile) to play together. While many modern games support this feature, CS2 remains PC-exclusive for several key reasons:

1. PC-Focused Design

• Built specifically for mouse and keyboard precision
• Continues the series' PC gaming legacy
• Optimized for competitive PC gameplay

2. Competitive Balance

• Avoids input method disparities (mouse vs. controller)
• Maintains fair competition without aim assist
• Preserves competitive integrity

3. Platform Availability

• Currently only available on PC
• No announced console versions
• No immediate plans for platform expansion

Future Possibilities While cross-platform play isn't currently available, gaming trends continue to evolve. If CS2 ever releases on consoles, Valve would need to carefully consider:

• Gameplay balance across platforms
• Input method differences
• Competitive fairness
• Player experience consistency

For now, Counter-Strike 2 remains focused on delivering the best possible PC gaming experience, prioritizing competitive integrity and precise gameplay mechanics over platform accessibility.
