No, CS:GO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) is not available on PS5. The game remains exclusive to PC platforms, primarily through Steam, and has never been released on any PlayStation console, including PS5.

The main reason for this is that CS:GO was specifically designed for PC gaming, with its precise mouse and keyboard controls being crucial to the gameplay experience. Valve, the game's developer, has historically focused on PC gaming and hasn't shown interest in bringing CS:GO to consoles.

However, PS5 players interested in similar tactical shooters have several alternatives:

• Rainbow Six Siege
• Valorant (coming to PS5 in Summer 2024)
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
• CrossfireX

It's worth noting that while CS:GO isn't available on PS5, Valve has released Counter-Strike 2 as a free upgrade to CS:GO in September 2023. This new version is also exclusively available on PC through Steam.

For players specifically wanting to experience Counter-Strike-style gameplay, the only option is to play on a PC. The game's competitive nature, economic system, and precise aiming mechanics are best suited for PC gaming, which is why Valve continues to focus on this platform.
