Christmas is nearing, but Valve chose to give players unexpected CS:GO Patch Notes on December 13, 2022.
While the last patch shook up the meta by adding Anubis to the map pool and bringing weapon adjustments, the new patch doesn’t offer nearly as many changes. Valve made some small fixes and switched around several of the maps for this update.
Both Boyard and Chalice can now be selected as potential partners in the Wingman mode. Matchmaking for Blagai, Cascade, and Breach has been removed from official matchmaking.
Last but not least, the Sticker Capsules from the most recent IEM Rio Major are now available for purchase and have a discount of 75% off of their original price. So much for “minor” CS:GO patch notes.
