It's free! But don't forget, spending on skins can get pretty tempting.

Yeah, CS:GO used to cost money back in the day. It was around $15 when it first came out. But Valve switched things up and made it free to play in December 2018. Since then, anyone can download and play CS:GO at no cost! You only spend money now if you want to buy skins or get that Prime Status, which gives you some cool extras and a bit better matchmaking experience.

CS:GO was indeed a paid game before, costing about $15. But Valve made a smart move by making it free-to-play, which really opened up the game to a wider audience. Just remember, the game itself is free, but if you're aiming for Prime Status or fancy skins, that's where your wallet comes in.
