CS2 is one of the most popular first-person shooters out there. It’s only natural that gamers would want to try it. Since the gaming community includes players from different platforms, players who play on consoles like the Xbox also have CS2 on their wish list. But can they even play CS2? Is CS2 on Xbox? Keep reading to find out.
CS2 Availability on Xbox Consoles
Sadly, CS2 is not available on any of the Xbox consoles. Before the launch of CS2, the game was offered as a limited-access beta to select players. Unfortunately, this limited access was not offered on any Xbox console. It was only available for PC players.
However, the gaming community had high hopes nearing the official CS2 launch. The Xbox platform has a massive player base, with millions of Xbox consoles sold across the globe. Since many of these players are first-person shooter fans, there is a massive potential market for CS2. However, even after the official release of CS2, it is not available for the Xbox.
Will CS2 Come to Xbox?
The last ever Counter-Strike game offered on the Xbox was Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, CSGO, which was available only for the Xbox 360. However, CSGO ran for several years, and within that time, two other Xbox consoles launched, namely, Xbox One and the Xbox Series X/S.
Neither of these Xbox consoles got the game since the player base on the 360 wasn’t enough. Because of all that, along with the fact that there is no confirmation of an Xbox CS2 release, we probably won’t see CS2 coming to Xbox any time soon.

Conclusion
In short, no, CS2 is not available on Xbox. Seeing how past attempts to bring Counter-Strike to the Xbox weren’t as successful, it won’t be coming on Xbox in the near future, either. However, Valve may decide to release CS2 on Xbox. But we will have to wait until any confirmation is released.
