Short answer: You can't. CS:GO is a Steam-exclusive game, which means it's designed to run and manage updates through Steam. So if you wanna hop into the action, your best bet is to download Steam, create an account if you haven’t yet, and download CS:GO from there. It’s free-to-play, so all you need is a bit of space on your hard drive and you’re good to go!

Nope, can't do that. Steam owns CS:GO, so it's like trying to get a Big Mac not from McDonald's. Just download Steam and get the game from there; it's pretty straightforward.

I tried finding a way around it a while back cause Steam can be a bit of a drag with its updates and stuff. But honestly, there's no legit way to get CS:GO without it. Just embrace Steam, my friend. Plus, it’s a hub for so many other cool games, so it’s worth having.
