CSGO Hits 1 Million Concurrent Players Since April 2021

According to SteamCharts, CS:GO reached its greatest peak since April 2021 with 1,133,610 concurrent players over the weekend.

Over the years, CS:GO has seen several rivals, with players often comparing it to other first-person shooters. 

But even in the face of newer first-person shooters, the game has remained popular. Though both supporters and detractors are quick to write off CS:GO, the game keeps coming back for more.

The number of people using their Steam accounts to play the classic shooter has increased by 4%, as shown by the website steam charts. Uncertain factors may have contributed to the price increase, but fans of the first-person shooter are just glad the game is back in the spotlight.

The growth of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s player base in 2023 is encouraging news for Valve’s first-person shooter. Since 2021, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has officially surpassed 1 million users.

Many factors cause the number of players in any given game to rise and fall, and CS:GO is no exception. Except for that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s numbers dropped in May of 2021 and never recovered.   

As usual, gamers have jumped to the conclusion that CS:GO is dead because of the rise of more recent games. If you’re a fan of first-person shooters, though, 2023 has good news.

This demonstrates that CS:GO is still one of the most played first-person shooters in the world despite the lack of content such as new missions, game modes, or skins. In contrast to some of its rivals, such as VALORANT and Overwatch 2, Valve’s game does not receive many significant upgrades during the year.

However, there have been reports since last year that the long-awaited Source 2 engine would soon be deployed in CS:GO, which might bring back players who have left the game due to the lack of updates and bring in new players.

The number of people playing CS:GO has increased by 4% since December, reaching 1,000,000 once more, as reported on steamcharts. In January of 2021, the game reached its previous all-time high. 

Over the past 30 days, an astonishing 1,133,610 players have engaged in CS:GO action. Although this uptick started in the second half of 2022, it wasn’t nearly enough to warrant much note until much later. 

With these updated numbers, Valve has a solid basis on which to launch its new business in 2023. If the current rate of growth continues unabated, CS:player GO’s count might reach an all-time high in 2023. Perhaps the data will persuade Valve to release the long-awaited Source 2 port.

There are 658,413 regular players in 2023, with the number jumping to nearly a million at its highest point. The future looks bright for Valve’s classic first-person shooter, as upcoming events and activities are expected to further boost the game’s already booming user base.

According to data compiled by SteamCharts, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive saw its biggest peak in terms of concurrent players this past weekend at 1,133,610, its largest peak since April 2021.

It’s odd that the peak occurred while there were no major changes, no major professional tournaments, and no brand new stuff to compete for like a brand new company. 

CS:GO’s average player count (658,932.4 in the past 30 days) hasn’t been higher since May 2021, when it averaged 659,888.9 players.

But the Major-themed update is the only one that will definitely be coming to CS:GO in the near future. Valve may reintroduce team and player stickers in time for the BLAST.tv Paris Major, which takes place in May.

After the IEM Rio Major in November 2022, Valve made certain changes to CS:GO that made headlines, including nerfs to the AWP and M4A1-S and the removal of Dust II from the active duty map pool to make room for Anubis.

COD Mobile Removed From App Store

Call of Duty Mobile, the popular first-person shooter game developed by Activision, has been disappeared from the Apple App Store. The game, which was released in October 2019, quickly gained a large player base and was one of the most popular mobile games in the world. However, the reason for its removal from the App Store is currently unknown.

The game’s developers, Activision, have not yet released an official statement regarding the removal of the game from the App Store. This has led to speculation among players and industry experts about the reason behind the removal.

The game may have been removed from the App Store due to issues with in-game purchases. Mobile games often generate significant revenue through in-game purchases, and it’s possible that Activision may have been in violation of Apple’s guidelines for in-app purchases.

However, it’s also possible that the removal of the game from the App Store could be temporary, and Activision is working to resolve the issue and have the game reinstated. Given that it’s a very popular game, and have many dedicated players, it’s likely that Activision will resolve any issues as soon as possible and bring the game back to the App Store.

In the meantime, players who have already downloaded the game can continue to play it on their iOS devices, but new players will not be able to download the game from the App Store. We will have to wait for official statement by the Activision.

As of now, there’s no official statement by the Activision yet, So it’s hard to say what might be the exact reason. Players are eagerly waiting for the official statement.

Fan Creates Pokemon x Fortnite Concept Video and It Looks Amazing

While Fortnite has collaborated with several big brands including the likes of Marvel, DC, and even the popular Anime Dragon Ball, it has yet to collaborate with Pokemon, one of the most popular gaming and Anime franchises in the entire world.

Fortnite fans are keeping their fingers crossed for the battle royale’s collab with Pokemon in the future, but whether this becomes a reality still remains to be seen.

If you wish to know what a potential Fortnite x Pokemon collab would look like in reality, you’re in luck. A 3D artist on Twitter with the username ‘Feraalsy’ has come up with a concept video detailing a Fortnite x Pokemon collab, and it has earned praise from Fortnite fans throughout the globe.

The video starts with Peely on a motorcycle while being followed by a group of enemies. He comes to a stop as he encounters Ash Ketchum, the iconic protagonist of the Pokemon Anime, who throws a Pokeball up in the air. 

The Pokeball pops to reveal Charizard, who fires a ball of fire onto the truck, incinerating it in an instant. Charizard then lands by the side of Ash Ketchum, while letting out a roar, as the screen cuts to black.

The trailer isn’t an official collab between the two franchises, but just a concept video made by a fan. However, in only a day since it was put up on Twitter, it has managed to garner over 4 million views with over 41,000 likes.

This goes on to show how excited the community is for a potential Fortnite x Pokemon collab in the future. Whether it comes to fruition still remains to be seen.

Where to Get Leftovers in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Where to Get Leftovers in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

The Leftovers are a classic and essential item in the Pokemon series. First introduced in Generation II, these partially eaten apples constantly restore 1/16 of a Pokemon’s HP each turn, making them useful during any journey and especially useful during a Nuzlocke run.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, two of the fastest-selling games in the franchise, also include Leftovers. As a trainer, you will have no trouble finding and obtaining these useful items.

Where to Find Leftovers in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

In Pokemon games, the Leftovers item can be purchased at the Delibird Presents store in Cascarrafa for 20,000 Poke Dollars. It is classified as a battle item and can be used to benefit multiple Pokemon on your team. If you have enough money, you can buy as many Leftovers as you like.

If the price of Leftovers seems too high, you can find one for free in the city of Medali. Go to the amphitheater and look for street food vendors near a corner. Between two of the vendors (one of them selling skewers), you will find a free Leftovers item.

Leftovers can only be obtained from the Delibird Presents store in Cascarrafa or the street food vendors in Medali. If you want to obtain more of these items, you will need to pay for them.

While there are other items that may be more useful in competitive battles, Leftovers are always a reliable choice and have been used by many Pokemon for over 20 years without any reported negative effects.

Where to Buy Repeat Balls in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

If you’re trying to catch a new Pokemon but your current team isn’t cutting it, you might be considering using Repeat Balls to make the process easier. However, if you’re playing Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you might be wondering where to find these handy items.

Don’t worry, we’ve got all the information you need to know about finding and purchasing Repeat Balls in these games.

How to Get Repeat Balls in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Repeat Balls can be found at Poke Marts throughout the game world. However, you will only have access to them after defeating three Gym Leaders.

The stock of items available at Poke Marts is determined by the number of Gyms you have successfully overcome, as a way to balance the game and prevent players from gaining too many advantages too early on.

For example, stronger items like Ultra Balls and Full Restores will only be available after obtaining a high number of badges.

To obtain Repeat Balls, you must defeat three Gym Leaders and earn three badges. While you can choose any Gyms to complete this task, it is recommended to take on the Cortondo, Artazon, and Levincia Gyms in that order, as these Gyms have relatively low-level teams.

Once you have defeated three Gym Leaders, you can purchase Repeat Balls at any Poke Mart for 1,000 Poke Dollars each. Keep in mind that these items are expensive, so use them wisely.

We hope this information helps you find Repeat Balls in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

CSGO Keeps Crashing? Here’s How You Can Fix It

If you’re a fan of the popular first-person shooter game, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO), you know how frustrating it can be when the game keeps crashing.

Not only does it interrupt gameplay, but it can also be difficult to determine the cause of the crash. In this article, we’ll go over some common causes of CSGO crashing and how you can fix them.

Update Your Graphics Drivers:

Outdated graphics drivers can cause issues with running games, including CSGO. Make sure you have the latest version of your graphics drivers installed to see if it resolves the crashing issue. You can check for updates and install them through the manufacturer’s website for your graphics card (e.g. NVIDIA, AMD).

Verify Game Files:

Sometimes, game files can become corrupt, causing the game to crash. To check for and repair any corrupt files, you can try verifying your game files through Steam. Here’s how:

  • Open Steam and go to your Library.
  • Right-click on CSGO and select “Properties”.
  • Go to the “Local Files” tab and click on “Verify Integrity of Game Files”.

This process will compare your game files to the ones on the Steam servers and replace any corrupt ones.

Reset Video Settings:

If updating your graphics drivers and verifying game files didn’t solve the issue, you may want to try resetting your video settings to the default. This can help if the crash is being caused by an unsupported video setting. Here’s how:

  • Open CSGO and go to the “Options” menu.
  • Go to the “Video Settings” tab.
  • Click on the “Reset” button at the bottom of the page.

Check for Overheating

Another common cause of crashes is overheating, especially in laptops. Make sure your computer is getting proper ventilation and consider using a cooling pad for laptops. You can also try using a temperature monitoring tool to check the temperature of your CPU and GPU while running the game.

Try Running the Game in Compatibility Mode:

If you’re using a newer version of Windows and experiencing crashes, you may want to try running the game in compatibility mode. This can help if the game is incompatible with your version of Windows. Here’s how:

  • Right-click on the CSGO shortcut and select “Properties”.
  • Go to the “Compatibility” tab.
  • Check the box next to “Run this program in compatibility mode for” and select an earlier version of Windows from the dropdown menu.

If you’re experiencing crashes while playing CSGO, there are a few steps you can try to fix the issue. Updating your graphics drivers, verifying game files, resetting video settings, checking for overheating, and running the game in compatibility mode can all help resolve crashing issues.

If these steps don’t work, it’s possible that the crash is caused by something else, such as a hardware issue. In that case, it may be necessary to seek further assistance.

Valorant Episod 6 Act 1 Start Date and Time

There’s a lot to look forward to on the Lotus map, and the new Valorant Episode 6 Act 1 update is almost here.

The next update from Riot Games is something to look forward to. There’s a lot to look forward to, including a new battle pass of content, as shown in the new cinematic trailer for Revelation, which was released on the game’s official YouTube channel.

Fans can’t wait to get their hands on the new content, which includes the visually stunning City of Flowers map and the one-of-a-kind battle pass that will be available to them in just a few days.

On January 11, 2023, one day after the current Act and its service come to an end, the new Episode and its Battlepass will go live.

When Riot Games has finished the required maintenance, they will release Update 6.0, which includes the new Act.

As has become customary, the new Battlepass will offer three distinct sets of weapons: 9 Lives, Gridcrash, and Venturi. These will feature skins for the most popular weapons in the game, such as the Vandal, Phantom, Judge, Stinger, and Classic, as well as the Melee Classic skin. 

There will be new player cards included in the subscription as well, with lore insights and the usual adorable artwork.The community’s reactions to the novel interactions between Valorant and Agents will be showcased in interesting gun buddies, titles, and sprays.

The 50 tiers of the Valorant Battlepass are spread across 10 chapters and five post-story tiers. Rewards are given out at the end of each chapter and epilogue.

Most of the value, however, is found in the pass’s fifty premium tiers. For 1000 Valorant Points, players can purchase the premium version, which grants an experience bonus that can be used to clear the pass in a shorter amount of time.

Valorant’s Battlepass, like most games, gives players access to skins for most guns and a melee option at a low cost. Fans considering purchasing the pass should be aware that the skins included in it cannot be honed or animated after purchase.

Episode 6 Act 1 of Valorant, the most recent patch from developer Riot Games, will be available to players at the start of the following week. 

However, as is customary, the time at which various regions receive the update will vary by a few hours. Below are the estimated rollout times for Patch 6.00 across all regions:

  • Asia Pacific: Server to undergo maintenance on January 10, 2023 at 14:00 PDT.
  • Brazil: Server to undergo maintenance on January 10, 2023 at 06:00 PST.
  • Europe: Server to undergo maintenance on January 10, 2023 at 20:00 PST.
  • Korea: Server to undergo maintenance on January 10, 2023 at 14:00 PST.
  • Latin America: Server to undergo maintenance on January 10, 2023 at 06:00 PST.
  • North America: Server to undergo maintenance on January 10, 2023 at 06:00 PST.

As is standard procedure before major patches, Riot will perform server maintenance for roughly four hours. 

Given that it includes the updated Split and the brand new Lotus map, the size of Patch 6.00 is expected to be fairly substantial. There has been speculation that the update could be as large as 2GB.

After downloading the new patch, Valorant players can buy the Episode 6 Act 1 Battlepass and access Lotus’s Unrated queue.
