Which company developed Counter-Strike 2?

The story behind the answer

Valve developed Counter-Strike 2.

Counter-Strike 2 was released in September 2023 as the successor to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Valve rebuilt the game on its Source 2 engine and delivered it as a free upgrade for existing Global Offensive players.

The release introduced technical changes such as responsive smoke grenades, updated lighting, revised maps, and a new rendering and networking foundation. It retained the core competitive structure of the Counter-Strike series.

Some players associate the game with Hidden Path Entertainment because that studio contributed to earlier Counter-Strike development. Counter-Strike 2 itself is a Valve-developed release, while earlier titles had different development collaborations.
