Valve has released yet another wave of CS2 invites to the public, but this time the invites seem to have a much broader scope than previous invitations. Now, if you want to meet the entry requirements of the CS2 Limited test, you need a few things. However, it’s very likely that you already meet or are close to meeting the requirements if you’re an avid CS:GO player. New CS2 limited test invites bring hundreds of thousands back to CS:GO.


Do you meet the new CS2 Limited Test requirements?

Valve released an official update stating that there are plans to include much more of the public in the CS2 Limited Test. Now you can access the Limited Test if you have a Prime membership (or purchased the game before it went free-to-play), and if you have an active competitive rank.
