These specifications should allow for a good gaming experience, but for the smoothest gameplay, especially in competitive environments, exceeding these recommendations would be beneficial. Remember, these requirements might be subject to change with future updates or patches.

Minimum System Requirements:

Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit.

Processor: Intel Core i5-4430 or equivalent.

Memory: 8 GB RAM.

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2GB or equivalent.

DirectX: Version 11.

Network: Broadband Internet connection.

Storage: At least 40 GB of available space, with some sources suggesting up to 85 GB might be necessary due to updates and community content from the Workshop.

Recommended System Requirements:

Processor: Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X.

Memory: 16 GB RAM.

Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super or AMD Radeon RX 5700-XT.

Storage: 70 GB SSD preferred for faster load times and better performance.

Additional Notes: Gameplay Tips

The game uses the Source 2 engine, which is also used in other Valve titles like Dota 2 and Half-Life: Alyx. This engine has slightly higher demands compared to the previous Source engine used in CS:GO, but it's designed to offer better performance with modern hardware.

CS2 doesn't officially support macOS, but there are workarounds using Boot Camp for Intel-based Macs.

For competitive play, a higher refresh rate monitor (144Hz or above) is recommended to take advantage of higher FPS, which can be crucial in fast-paced scenarios.

The game's storage requirements could increase over time with updates and additional content from the Steam Workshop, so having extra storage is advisable.
