How does improved tick rate help Counter-Strike 2?

Counter-Strike 2 has announced a major update to its tick rate, with plans to move from 64-tick servers to 128-tick servers by summer 2023. The tick rate is the number of times a server refreshes in one second, and using 128-tick servers will result in an improved gameplay experience for players.

Valve, the developer of Counter-Strike 2, is calling this change “sub-tick improvements,” as they previously used 64-tick servers in CSGO. Doubling the time between which a server responds will lead to faster response times for player actions, reducing the delay between input and server results.

This reduced delay can make a huge difference in competitive games, where even a millisecond can impact the outcome. With Counter-Strike 2’s sub-tick update, players can expect even smoother gameplay with Source 2. Using 128-tick servers in Counter-Strike 2 will improve the competitive experience for players by making the game more responsive and reducing input delay.
