CS:GO update brings glove skins, lobby improvements

The latest CS:GO update to hit has introduced glove skins to the game as well as improved lobby functionality.

Tonight's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update has introduced a new category of skins to the game with the addition of twenty four new gloves for players to equip. The skins are currently only available from the new case that was introduced as well, the Glove Case, which also includes seventeen new weapon skins.

In addition, lobby functionality has been significantly improved with the new group lobby tab, which allows players to see and join lobbies that are hosted by players who are using a group tag from a Steam group you have in common with them; the functionality can be easily turned on or off through the game settings.

Check out the full changelogs below:

 

CS:GO

  • Introducing the Glove Case, featuring 17 community-designed weapon finishes. Unlike previous cases, the possible Special Items in the Glove Case are 24 all-new gloves. For more details click here.
  • Introducing the Radicals Music Box, featuring 7 new StatTrak™ music kits from “Radicals” artists.


Steam Group Lobbies

  • Players can now join lobbies created by members of their Steam Groups. For details, visit the Steam Group Lobby FAQ
  • Added the Steam Groups tab in the Friend Lister on the Main Menu.
  • By default, if you click Play With Friends and are displaying the Tag of one of your Steam Groups, your lobby will be broadcast to (and joinable by) members of that Steam Group. You can adjust your default lobby settings in the Game Settings menu.
  • Looking for players from your region or who share a common interest? You can search for new Steam Groups to join, view a friends’ groups by visiting their Steam Community Profile, or create a group of your own!
