Well, not in the UK anyway.
Although now available on both PC and Xbox 360 in the US and Europe, the game was a surprise omission from today’s European PlayStation Store update. It did make an appearance in the US, however.
"Unfortunately Counter-Strike has not been made available on the European PlayStation store today, and we apologise to those of you who were looking forward to playing it,” a Sony spokesperson confirmed.
“We hope to resolve this issue as quickly as possible."
Counter Strike was originally released as a mod to Half-Life that proved so popular that valve eventually acquired the rights to the game.
Counter Strike: Global Offensive is a modified version of 2004 release Counter Strike Source. Indeed, it began life as a port of that title for Xbox 360.
