With Halloween just a few days away, Valve is here with a brand new Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Update, one which celebrates this upcoming spooky event. And since Halloween is all about ghosts and other scary things, the update features not only your usual map changes and balances but also some additional features which might freak you out as well. We say this, cause Ghosts are coming to CS:GO.

CS:GO Halloween Update

According to the official announcement, a Halloween of sort event is being introduced to CSGO which allows players to turn into ghosts when they die within the game. This new feature is available in only Casual, Demolition, and Flying Scoutsman game modes and will only be visible to players who are either ghosts themselves are observers.

These Ghosts are not going to be visible to other players who are alive but this does not mean you can not haunt them. As a result, the developers have scattered interactable objects around the map including soccer balls, glass, potted plants, etc, to allow these ghosts to scare and freak players who are still alive.

Those of you who are interested in the complete changes, check out the complete patch notes down below:
