Overview
Description

Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.

The Prince rides through a scorching desert to reunite with his brother Malik, only to discover a kingdom under siege by the sand‑born Solomon’s Army. Harnessing ancient seals, the Prince battles through treacherous vaults and sprawling cities to stop the unleashed power. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Singapore, the game blends fluid parkour, time‑bending combat, and intricate puzzles across PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, delivering a single‑player experience that continues the beloved Sands of Time storyline.
