Premier Mode is one of the new features that were introduced in CS2 and if you like the competitive side of the game, you might be wondering how to unlock it. Luckily the process is simple but not easy to actually make this a premium experience.
How to unlock Premier in CS2?
Since this is a premium experience, there is money involved in the process of unlocking Premier. First off, you need to have a CS2 account with Prime Status and in order to get that, you need to make a one-time payment of $14.99 on Steam.
You can acquire Prime Status by visiting the main Steam page of the game, as it is listed under the add-ons available for the shooter.
Once you have purchased said status, the only thing left to do is to play public matches until you reach level 10 with that account. After that, Premier Mode will be available for you to enjoy.
Premier benefits
The first benefit of the Premier game mode is that users will be matched only with each other. Although this meant that the pool of players available is gonna be reduced, this also reduces the possibility of any hackers or cheaters.
Knowing that CS2 is one of the most popular games on Steam, most of the time having the most amount of active users, this exclusivity shouldn't affect the wait time to find a match or anything related.
On top of that, the game mode has its own Pick-and-Ban system, allowing players to be able to veto the maps they wanna play.

Another benefit of this add-on is that users will receive exclusive content and weapon cases. Keep in mind that this is where the most competitive players will be, so playing in this mode will feel harder than normal competitive matches.
