About the game

The legendary team-based tactical shooter that pits terrorists against counter-terrorists across objective rounds like bomb defusal and hostage rescue. One death means sitting out the round, so every move carries weight and precise aim plus teamwork decide the winner.

Did you know?

Counter-Strike began as a free Half-Life mod created in 1999 by Minh Le and Jess Cliffe before Valve acquired it and turned it into a standalone retail game.

These are not ordinary keys. A gift is usually region-locked and arrives through someone else's account — if the region does not match, the game will not activate. An account means you get someone else's login: the game never becomes yours, and it breaks Steam's rules. A DLC or a bundle is not the base game. That is why none of them count towards the price at the top of the page.

The service where the key activates — Steam, GOG, Epic or the publisher's platform. A key for one platform won't work on another, hence the separate filter.
