But you might be asking yourself, "Is CS:GO free?" and the answer is yes! Until some time ago CS:GO was actually paid for, but today there is a free version available on Steam for anyone to download. However, there is also the "Prime" version of the game, which allows you to play with some extras that CS:GO has to offer and this is only possible through payment. Therefore, the status "Prime" can only be acquired via payment.
What am I missing without "Prime" status?
First, if you don't have "Prime" status, you won't gain XP, levels, ranks, and item drops during gameplay. Another thing that can impact your gaming is that you won't be able to participate in ranked CS:GO matches. And finally, you won't have access to bonus XP and Service Medals.Currently, the price to upgrade to the “Prime” status of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is costing around $15. But if you just want to play CS:GO for fun, let's get to the steps on how to download CS:GO for free on Steam.
