Yes, CSGO Prime status does transfer to CS2. If you owned Prime Status in CSGO before CS2's release, you automatically receive Prime Status in CS2 at no additional cost.

I want to explain exactly how this transfer works and what it means for you as a player:

When you launch CS2, your Prime Status from CSGO is automatically carried over to your account. This means you'll have immediate access to all Prime benefits in CS2, including:

• Matchmaking with other Prime players only
• Access to all official competitive modes
• Exclusive weapon drops and items
• Additional security features

If you're wondering about the verification process, there isn't one - it's completely automatic. The transfer happens in the background when you first launch CS2 with the same Steam account that had CSGO Prime.

For new players who don't have Prime Status, they'll need to purchase it separately for CS2. The cost is typically around $15 (though prices may vary by region).

It's worth noting that once your Prime Status transfers to CS2, you keep it permanently. You won't need to repurchase or reactivate it, even if you take a break from playing.

One important detail: if you didn't have Prime Status in CSGO before CS2's release, any previous methods of obtaining free Prime Status (like reaching rank 21 in CSGO) no longer work. The only way to get Prime Status in CS2 now is to purchase it.

For players concerned about their investment in CSGO Prime, Valve has ensured a seamless transition to protect the value of your purchase. This transfer policy helps maintain the competitive integrity and quality of matches in CS2 while respecting players' previous investments in CSGO.
