The information is in line with a possible Steam launch in China, which would also occur in the coming weeks. With this, Source 2’s arrival to CS: GO may also coincide with the arrival of the digital gaming platform of Valve in the eastern country

B5 is one of the third party Counter-Strike platforms in China. She is responsible, for example, for organizing tournaments and casual matches between players. However, the website did not explain why it cited the arrival date of the new graphics engine.

However, this does not mean that the game requires more from the computer. Quite the contrary, since one of the main advantages of Source 2 is to improve the graphic performance of the game, increasing the FPS, for example.

In February, a Twitter user found in the Dota 2 update files a CS: GO file citing Source 2. Although the games were different from the same developer, Valve may have added the programming codes in MOBA to avoid speculation by part of the users.
