Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) expands upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it launched in 1999.

Huge news for CS:GO players, as per this latest update you can add -vulkan to your launch flags to run the game with the new Vulkan renderer!

According to those in the r/linux_gaming that are testing this also brings a nice performance improvement depending on the hardware (from 5-10%). Small reminder that CS:GO is one of the biggest examples of games that can run better on Linux than on Windows.

    I have to thank valve for their Linux support. At least in games you can get an almost perfect “plug and play” experience.

      Yeah, but this is for native CSGO. It used to run on OpenGL for all these years.
