But as time began to pass and gamers were a little bit over the battle royale craze. They all began to come back in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in big numbers.

Steam chart

This is the first time since Jan 2017 the game had over 800K concurrent players in steam. Steam making the game free to play did had a positive effect on the player count. Even after all that the staying power of the OG counter strike is no joke at all. This game has been the industry standard of how a FPS game should be like.

The Comeback

With new operations after almost a year. Counterstrike players now had a new reason to grind the game. The Operation Shattered Web was received positively. But there was some complaint with the visibility issue that was bugging the players. All in all CS:GO made a huge comeback and rose to the top again.
