If you're looking to get into CS:GO without the hassle of downloading, you're kinda out of luck. CS:GO requires a download to play since it's a standalone game developed by Valve. However, there are cloud gaming services like NVIDIA GeForce Now that let you stream the game if you already own it on Steam. This way, you don't have to download the game onto your computer, but you'll still need a good internet connection.

I've been playing CS:GO for years, and I tried the cloud gaming route with GeForce Now. It's as close as you'll get to playing without downloading, since you're streaming the game from their servers. You'll need a really stable internet connection though. It felt pretty good, not quite the same as playing directly from your PC, but it's a solid option if you're tight on storage or have a lower-spec machine.

Nope, you gotta download it. CS:GO isn't a browser game or anything like that - it's a full-fledged, download-and-play deal.
