The CS:GO Source 2 client was uploaded to the developer preview branch tonight.
Dataminers have discovered developer activity in an unknown application in the CS:GO database, which they associate with the Source 2 update. This time, it was much more important than last week's changes. Dataminer Aquarius has reported that the Source 2 update has been uploaded to the developer preview branch.
What does this mean for ordinary players?
Speaking of the last experience of adding updates to the pre-release developer branch, such updates were released the same week they were added to the pre-release branch. Usually, this is the last stage before the release of an update.
Yes, dataminers reported last week that the update will be released in the coming days, but now it's hard to deny these rumors. Activity in the unknown application in the database is increasing, and we are waiting for an update in the coming days. This may not be an update to Source 2, but it is unlikely that a smaller update would have a separate application.
How will the release of Source 2 be?
We still do not have confirmed information or an announcement of a new version of Counter-Strike. However, in the case of an update to Source 2, it is possible to rely on the same update for Dota 2. When Dota 2 switched to a new engine, the beta version of the new client was released first, and players at launch they gave a choice between the new and the old version of the game. Over a while, bugs were removed from the latest version, which became the main version, and the old client was removed.
Most likely, CS:GO is waiting for the same. First, the version of Source 2 will be released in beta, and players will be given a choice between two clients, and when Valve decides that the new client will be ready for a full release, the choice will be taken away from the players.
Most likely, users will be able to try CS on Source 2 this week.
