How to Create a Steam Account
To play Counter-Strike 2, you need a free Steam account. Visit the Steam website at steampowered.com and click 'Join Steam' in the top right corner. You'll be prompted to create a new account with an email address and username. Choose a username that's unique within the Steam system and will be your visible identifier to other players.
Enter your email address and create a strong password. Steam will send a confirmation email to your address. Click the confirmation link in the email to activate your account. You'll then be prompted to set your account details, including your country and birthday.
After account creation, download the Steam client application from the Steam website. Log in with your credentials and your account is ready to use. You can immediately search for and install Counter-Strike 2 from your library for free.
Optional: Consider enabling Steam Guard two-factor authentication for additional account security. This provides protection against unauthorized access and is especially important if you plan to own valuable skins or items.
