GO spends over $400,000 on a single in-game item.

According to Neowin , although Valve's CS:GO is a free-to-play game, players can purchase various skins for their in-game characters. The skin market is always an attractive factor contributing to the success of games, and rare skins are especially sought after by gamers, who are willing to spend thousands of dollars, and even hundreds of thousands of dollars, as one recent CS:GO player did.

What is the most expensive item in video game history?

In a Twitter post, zipL – a CS:GO skin trader – stated that he brokered a deal between the seller "Luksusbums" and an anonymous Chinese buyer in April. The transaction involved two items: one was the Blue Gem Karambit knife skin, which sold for $100,000, while the other was an AK-47 StatTrak Tier 1 Case Hardened skin with a Blue Gem pattern and four Titan Holo Katowice 2014 skins applied to it, valued at over $400,000. The total transaction for both items was over $500,000, completed on April 16th.

CS:GO has seen a massive increase in new online players over the past few weeks. This is largely due to Valve's announcement of Counter-Strike 2, scheduled for release later this summer as a free upgrade to CS:GO. Since all CS:GO weapon skins will transfer to Counter-Strike 2, this has made some in-game items more valuable.

However, the report notes that the in-game item market in CS:GO is currently in a speculative phase, so gamers should be careful to avoid inappropriate spending. In particular, the price for the AK-47 skin in CS:GO mentioned by zipL has not been verified.
