You’ve installed CS2 and now you’re wondering what’s this Prime Status staring at you and is it even worth it? Don’t worry, we’ll explain everything about Prime Status and what it means.
Many new players coming to Counter-Strike 2 were wondering if they could get the game for free. This was quickly alleviated when they were introduced to the game in their Steam launchers. However, while the base game is free to play, there was an option to buy something called Prime Status for a fee. If you’re unsure what that is and if it’s worth getting it in CS2, then keep reading this guide.
CS2 Prime Status, Explained
While CS2 is free to install and play, that means everyone can do it. This includes a large number of bad actors, like cheaters and hackers. The Prime Status, with a fee attached to it, should alleviate some of those issues because it would require those players to re-buy it every time after a perma-ban.
But that’s not all that Prime Status brings. Along with preferential matchmaking, this perk allows you to start queueing into Ranked games. The competitive side of CS2 is locked behind the Prime Status in an attempt to ensure a fair playing field.
Moreover, having Prime Status makes your account eligible to receive a Weekly Care package, which lets players choose from among random cosmetic items and cases. With this status, you’ll be able to earn XP towards these perks and receive Service Medals.
