CSGO Code Source 2 has been found again, raising hopes for a big update coming soon

The time has come when we can regain hope. With a bunch of Source 2 code found in the Artifact update and that gives us hope for the next major update in the near future.

The idea of ​​​​porting CSGO to the Source 2 engine was quashed in July, despite previous predictions that it was ready to go. Now, new information shows that the port will be available by the end of 2021.

However, for the first time in nearly 6 months, we have evidence that Valve is still working on this project. New code found in another Valve game sparks hope for Source 2 – and possibly a major update in the coming weeks.

The CSGO Source 2 code was found in the latest update of Artifact. Data miner “GabeFollower” shared this detail on October 22. It is just a small piece of code, but for CSGO gamers, it means much more.

So far, CSGO gamers have not had any major updates since Operation Shattered Web from 2019, so any new news is welcome. However, just a single piece of Source 2 code is unlikely to make a big mutation.

This code also doesn’t tell us how Source 2 will help CSGO.

According to Valve News Network’s Tyler McVickers, Source 2 won’t have much of an impact on players. More specifically, he said the game will look like “95% after port.

“Source 2 is still backward compatible with Source 1, which means that if a lot of the main mechanics in the game are changed slightly and affect the competition as well as other normal games, surely the “CSGO remake” will let people down,” Tyler shared in July.

However, the game will have some tweaks to the way maps and models are created, as well as fixing some bugs that existed in the old engine.

Dota 2 now uses Source 2, while elements like the Panorama interface are using the new engine. Gameworld will update more information about Source 2 when new news appears.
