- As with past years, the 2024 Service Medal is not yet able to be claimed. When the clock strikes 0000 UTC on December 31st going into January 1st (AKA when the clock strikes midnight in London, England), 2023 Service Medals will become unobtainium and 2024 Service Medals can be claimed

- Size is close to 2 GB. Data capped users should take action now.

-------------------

This is the last full month that Valve will be supporting Steam on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 before support is abandoned on 1/1/24, due in part to Chromium and its Embedded Framework also abandoning these platforms. Although neither are officially supported following the CS2 transition, any future CS2 updates that moves the minimum Steam client version beyond the last one available for 7/8.1 will render it unplayable unless you upgrade Windows.
