From a report: Valve confirmed its decision and gave its reasons in a newly published Steam support FAQ: &#8220;As technology advances, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue support for older hardware, including DirectX 9 and 32-bit operating systems. Similarly, we will no longer support macOS. Combined, these represented less than one percent of active CS:GO players. Moving forward, Counter-Strike 2 will exclusively support 64-bit Windows and Linux.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div class=\"share_submission\" style=\"position:relative\">\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Valve+Says+Counter-Strike+2+for+macOS+Not+Happening+Because+There+Aren't+Enough+Players+on+Mac+To+Justify+It%3A+https%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F10%2F10%2F1641209%2F%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dtwitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/twitter_icon_large-365.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F10%2F10%2F1641209%2Fvalve-says-counter-strike-2-for-macos-not-happening-because-there-arent-enough-players-on-mac-to-justify-it%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/facebook_icon_large-183.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/games.slashdot.org\/story\/23\/10\/10\/1641209\/valve-says-counter-strike-2-for-macos-not-happening-because-there-arent-enough-players-on-mac-to-justify-it?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Slashdot &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/games.slashdot.org\/story\/23\/10\/10\/1641209\/valve-says-counter-strike-2-for-macos-not-happening-because-there-arent-enough-players-on-mac-to-justify-it?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Valve Says Counter-Strike 2 for macOS Not Happening Because There Aren&#8217;t Enough Players on Mac To Justify It<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valve says it has no plans for a macOS version of the recently released game Counter-Strike 2, the follow-up title replacing the hugely popular FPS Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
