The last CS:GO operation, Operation Riptide, ended on February 20, 2022. This marked the final operation before Counter-Strike 2's announcement and subsequent release, effectively concluding the era of CS:GO operations.

Operation Riptide launched on September 21, 2021, and ran for approximately 5 months. It introduced several new features including private queues, new maps, and various mission types that players could complete for rewards.

For those wondering about future operations, it's important to note that CS:GO operations have been permanently discontinued. With the release of Counter-Strike 2 in September 2023, Valve has shifted its focus to the new game, which uses a different model for content delivery and player engagement.

Here's a quick overview of Operation Riptide's key features:

- Duration: September 21, 2021 - February 20, 2022
- Price: $14.99
- Notable content: New maps, private queues, short competitive matches
- Rewards: Operation exclusive cases, agents, and weapon collections

Prior to Operation Riptide, Operation Broken Fang ran from December 3, 2020, to May 3, 2021. These operations typically lasted between 4-6 months, with Operation Riptide being the last in CS:GO's decade-long history.

Players looking for similar content experiences can now find them in Counter-Strike 2, though the format differs from the traditional operation structure that CS:GO featured.

I keep this information updated, but since CS:GO operations have definitively ended with the transition to CS2, this marks the final chapter in CS:GO's operation history.
