Technically, yes, but it's not straightforward. Chromebooks run Chrome OS, which doesn't natively support Windows or Mac applications, including CS:GO. You could use cloud gaming platforms that support Chrome OS or Linux (if your Chromebook can run Linux applications). This way, you play the game remotely on powerful servers, which stream the gameplay back to your Chromebook. Just make sure your internet is up to the task!

Short answer: It's complicated. You're better off with a PC if you wanna play CS:GO seriously. Chromebooks aren't really built for heavy gaming.

You can, but expect to jump through some hoops. I managed to get CS:GO running on my Chromebook using Linux (Beta) feature and installing Steam through it. The performance was okay for casual play, but don't expect to go pro with this setup.
