Players Spent Over $100 Million On CS:GO Cases Last Month, A New Record
About 39.5 million loot boxes were opened throughout March 2023, right after Valve announced Counter-Strike 2.
It goes without saying that gamers love gambling, especially those who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Well last month, they REALLY loved it. So much so that players collectively spent over $100 million on cases (the game’s loot boxes), according to the website CS:GO Case Tracker. That equates to about 39.5 million cases throughout March 2023, right after Counter-Strike 2 was announced by developer Valve.
Besides CS:GO smashing the previous record for the amount of concurrent players online, the community also broke the former record for the amount of cases — which only contain cosmetics — in a month. The number beforehand was 27.7 million cases. Each case costs between $0.70 to more than $60 to obtain and $2.50 to open.
Valve must be ecstatic right now... and a bit richer.
