Moreover, this number is only going to grow once the sequel has been announced. We have been hearing a lot about this sequel recently. First, we saw NVIDIA adding driver supports to two unknown executables called “csgos2.exe” and “cs2.exe”. We also witnessed a big CS:GO leak on Source 2 along with Dota 2.

The reports do not stop there, as a new report by InsiderGaming reveals more information about CS:GO’s sequel. It seems that the update for the game could arrive sooner than later, as players have recorded CS:GO Blog Activity Updates. The latest blog activity was detected March 9, before that it was detected several times on March 1.
