The CSGOCaseTracker website published the data it monitored for the number of chests that players opened in the game Counter-Strike during the year 2023, indicating that more than 400 million chests had been opened, with players spending more than $980 million on the keys for those chests, and this was for the Counter-Strike version. 2 In September last year, it had a significant impact on increasing demand for these funds.
The chest system in Counter-Strike allows the player to obtain them by playing randomly, but to open those chests the player must buy a key in exchange for money, and there is a strong market for the cosmetic items provided by these chests, which players buy, sell, and exchange between each other. The image below summarizes the data for us. What was presented about players spending on those boxes.
