A new game profile for "Counter-strike 2" has appeared in the Nvidia control panel after a recent driver update.

The details:

On March 1, a new driver update for Nvidia’s hardware was released, and with it came an update to its control panel software. Reddit user u/DAOWAce spotted that the update has added a new profile for "Counter-Strike 2," which they initially believed to be some third-party title such as the free-to-play Counter-Strike Nexon but appears to be a "direct Valve engine port."
Counter-Strike fans have been waiting for a version of the game on Valve’s Source 2 engine for a while now, with rumors circulating that it could arrive any day now for quite a while. Unless Valve has begun to prepare for the updated version, it's highly unlikely that the profile would appear in an Nvidia update. Valve has recently launched an official @CSGO TikTok account, which could be related to an upcoming announcement and release.
This isn't the first time Nvidia has leaked information about an upcoming game. In 2021, the manufacturer's streaming service, GeForce Now, experienced a massive database leak, revealing a list of unannounced titles that later turned out to be real.

What else is happening at Valve?

In February, Valve announced that it had banned over 40,000 Dota 2 cheaters in a single wave after setting up a honeypot in a previous patch. The developer published a blog post to "make the example visible" and went on to say that it’s just the "latest action in an ongoing campaign."
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s popularity is at an all-time high, breaking its player count record on February 19 with 1.324 million players online at one time. The previous record was set just a week earlier, on February 11, at 1.32 million.

Nvidia may have leaked that Counter-Strike’s move to Source 2 is coming soon
