Information has surfaced online suggesting that Valve is preparing to bring the Overwatch system back to Counter-Strike 2. According to the published details, access will be granted exclusively through special invitations.
Preliminary information suggests that the system will be invite-only. Each invitation can be used only once and for one account, which should limit users’ ability to transfer access. The system may also operate independently of the game client, for example through a website, making it easier for users to review cases.
Valve has not yet officially announced the launch of the updated Overwatch system or revealed the criteria for receiving invitations. However, the appearance of this information may indicate that the company is getting closer to restoring the system that helped the community identify rulebreakers.
Overwatch was an important part of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, allowing experienced players to review match recordings and issue verdicts on suspected cheating or other violations. Following the release of Counter-Strike 2, the feature remained unavailable for a long time, prompting repeated calls from the community for Valve to bring it back.
