Valve has increased the prices for prime status for CS:GO in all regions. Now, it costs about $15 in most countries, as well as in the USA and some European countries. For example, the price increased in Ukraine from ₴325 to ₴550. The situation is similar in other countries.

Why do you need prime status in CS:GO?

Acquiring prime status in CS:GO allows gamers to participate in ranked matchmaking and receive exclusive items and weapon cases. Previously, when the game was paid, you could get prime status after reaching the 21st level of the account. However, after the transition of CS:GO to the free-to-play model, it can only be purchased in the in-game store or on Steam.
