About The CS:GO Archive

Welcome to The CS:GO Archive, a dedicated preservation project for historical versions of the game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Our primary focus is on archiving beta versions of the game, documenting the evolution of CS:GO from its early development stages to the (almost) present day.

This project aims to preserve these digital artifacts for historical, educational, and research purposes, ensuring that the development history of one of the world's most popular and influential competitive shooters is not lost to time.
