How to Install Counter Strike 2 on Mac in 5 Minutes - No Virtual Machine/ Terminal! [EASIEST WAY]

hey guys I'm at here so did you also install CS2 just to find out that it is only a fake update push to the Mac users so that CS go can be deleted from their systems yeah that's what happened to me also so I was really angry when I found out CS2 is not supported on Max just like you I also searched on Google there how to get CS2 working on Max but I found a video which was not very easy to follow and there were tons of commands in that video that you needed to run on Terminal so that's when I thought about this method that I'm going to share in this video which is a lot easier than the one I found on YouTube so using this method you can get CS2 running on your Macs without having to use virtual machine and without having to use tons of commands on Terminal and after the installation just like CS go you can access CS2 directly from a shortcut so this is my secondary Channel originally I make product reviews you can find the link of their channel in the description box below and I'm trying to grow this channel so if this video helps you out only if this video helps you out I would really appreciate if you can hit the Subscribe button and hit the thumbs up button for this video I'm gonna be using my M2 Mac Mini so without any further delay let's get right into it and start the process so let's start the process first of all let me show you currently I'm using my Apple M2 Mac Mini and it is currently running the latest Sonoma version 14.0 so first thing first you will have to access your web browser I'm gonna be using Safari for it and here you will have to search for pros over Mac then you will have to access the first link provided here here scroll down and click on free trial after that scroll down and here you will have to select your operating system then enter your name and email and click on download Trial now so after that it will start to download the file so I've already downloaded it so once the download is finished you will have to unzip the file so it will provide you with the crossover application so you can exit Safari and here you will have to click on open you can move it to Applications folder if you want and then you will have to click on open again so if it is not opening for you what you can do is open system settings and here you will have to scroll down to privacy and security here scroll down and probably here you will see the allow button that the application is from in an identified developer so you will have to click on allow to give access to open the application so after that here you will have to click on try now and here you can see that crossover will open so here is the home page and here is the install page here some of the popular applications are listed so good thing is that steam is also listed here and it is given 5 stars that it runs great so click on Steam after that you will be redirected to this page then click on install and it will start to download Steam so give it its time it's almost two and a half megabytes so it is installing it into a Windows 10 64-bit portal name steam so after that you will get this screen then click on yes here you can see that it is completing the installation and here we have this steam setup now click on install and you will have to select your language click on install again then install again and here you can see that steam has been successfully installed so after that click on finish and I've also ticked the run Steam option so once it's installed it will open Steam and here you can see that currently steam is installed and it is downloading the update after that we will be able to use steam so let's wait for it so now it is extracting the package as it has finished downloading the update now it is installing the update after that crossover would like to access the microphone so make sure you give it this permission so that you will be able to use your microphone in Steam and Counter Strike to click on OK so we can minimize it now and here you can see that steam has opened after that you will need to login on Steam so I'm gonna log in now so I'm gonna enter my account name then enter my password and after that click on sign in so enter the confirmation code sent on your email and now it is waiting for network and now it is logging in and loading the user data silver steam has opened now so go to the library Tab and here you can see that we have The Counter Strike available but it needs to be installed and requires a 33 gigabytes of space so let me make it easier for you so if you are watching this tutorial you would have probably already tried the counter strike 2 on this team on Mac OS so I'm gonna open this team for Mac OS this is the Steam for Windows that we are using on crossover and this is the Steam for Mac OS I'm opening it currently here you will have to go to the library Tab and on Counter Strike to right click go to properties and then go to install files and here you can create a backup of the installed files to restore this game in the future click on backup game files then you will have to choose the directory to create a backup file click on browse so you can create this backup anywhere for example I'm selecting desktop and click on open and then you will have to click on create backup so I've already created a backup file for it so I'm not gonna create it again so after creating the backup file I would recommend you to move it to the documents folder on your Mac currently you can see that it is in the documents folder for me and exited and after that you can create this stream for Mac OS let it shut down and then you will have to open this theme for Windows that we are currently using on crossover and here you will have to click on Steam and click on restore game backup click on browse and here go to documents then select the counter strike 2 and click on open and after that click on restore backup so select the drive then click on install and after that it will start to restore from backup so it's gonna take around 8 to 10 minutes so I'll be back to you once it's done foreign the backup and currently it is installing the update to make it compatible with the Steam on Windows so let me tap here it's gonna take around 2 minutes to finish the downloading so let's wait for it so now it is done downloading the file and currently it is verifying it so now the verification is done and now it is updating it so I'm gonna switch to the Home tab and it is showing validating here so now it is done validating and here is the play button so now let's start I'm gonna click on play after that it will require to install some important files so as you can see currently it is installing the script and let it finish installing the scripts and after that we will be good to go and we can play Counter Strike 2 on our Mac and now everything is done and currently Counter Strike 2 is turning on as you can see here so here is The Counter Strike intro screen and finally we are in the lobby So currently the experience is not the smoothest and we will need to do some changes in order to make it smoother but finally here is The Counter Strike too so I'm gonna quit it and let me show you how will you be able to enter The Counter Strike every time so you can see that cloud syncing is also working so I'm gonna click steam also and I'm gonna quick crossover also so on your Mac what you will have to do is go to Launchpad and here you will see a new folder which is called crossover and here you can see we have the option to run Steam from here run Steam support center and here is the counter strike 2 button so you can also give a shortcut of Counter Strike to in your dock after that you will have to click Counter Strike 2 from here you can see that now steam is logging in so everything will continue just like the Steam Works on your Mac and also on your normal window pieces so here you can see that it automatically switched to Counter Strike 2 just like it works on normal window pieces and Max again so here you can see that Counter Strike has turned on again and once again we are in the lobby so guys this was how easy it was to install CS go on your Macs without having to use virtual machine or to use tons of commands on Terminal so on the other video I found on YouTube a lot of people were commenting that CS is crashing for them but for me I've been testing this method for the last two days and so far CS haven't crashed for me it might not be looking so smooth as of now but I'm working on a new video in which I will be showing you how to increase the FPS and the performance of CS2 on your Macs so to stay updated on that video make sure you hit the Subscribe button and turn on notifications I'll catch you in the next one until next time this is I'm at peace
