But CS2 is basically Global Offensive. They “just” ported it over to the new engine. All items were kept and you didn’t need to buy your items again, as it is the same account. Overwatch 2 on the other hand changed the entire formula (5v5 instead 6v6) and introduced lot of new game types and modes. So it’s not exactly the same situation. Having said this, I wish Valve would have created a new game id and store page for the new version of the game. Such a shame.

You can play 1.5, 1.6, Conditon Zero, and Source.
You can’t play Global Offensive anymore, afaik. It did the same thing OW2 did, getting replaced entirely by CS2.

I believe CS:GO is still available through a beta branch of CS:2 but that the remaining custom servers are mostly empty.
