Everything you need to know about the new Panorama UI in CS:GO.
Our CS:GO Panorama guide explains how to activate or deactivate/disable the new user interface, with an overview of the changes introduced by Panorama.
A little earlier on this year Valve released a beta re-work of the CS:GO interface called Panorama. Improving on all aspects of the user interface, it provides slicker viewing of models, an enhanced navigation process, and plenty more besides.
In this article we explain how to activate or disable Panorama, and provide a handy video which outlines all of the benefits of the new system so you understand what’s changed.
As this new UI system is updated over time, so we’ll update this article.
What is the CS:GO Panorama update
The Panorama update significantly improves all aspects of the classic CS:GO interface. Here’s a video that does a neat job of showcasing all of the new elements.
Overall the Panorama UI makes the game a lot more welcoming for new players, and just a little less clinical than the game’s original interface was.
