For now, CS2 is only available on PC. Valve has not shown any intention of expanding their new title to consoles yet.

Is Counter-Strike 2 different from CS:GO?

Counter-Strike 2 picks up where CS:GO left off and boosts the in-game mechanics, upgrades the maps, improves audio and visual effects, enhances how smoke grenades work, and introduces an amazing new server system with sub-tick update architecture.
