About Counter-Strike 1.6

webXash runs Half-Life and CS 1.6 content in a browser tab.

Play CS 1.6 against bots, Half-Life 1, or mods such as Blue Shift. LAN multiplayer works through self-hosted server containers; the in-game server browser doesn't find internet servers, so you enter an IP.

About the game

webXash is a front end for a WebAssembly build of Xash3D FWGS, the open-source Half-Life-compatible engine. It runs Half-Life 1, Counter-Strike 1.6 and compatible mods from files you supply.

Made by x8BitRain (front end); engine port by yohimik.

Questions about Counter-Strike 1.6

Do I need to own Counter-Strike 1.6?

Yes: you need your own game files from Steam, the valve folder plus cstrike for Counter-Strike. Click 'Open game folder' and select the folder that contains them, or zip it and use 'open zip'. webXash only reads your files and never writes to them.

Can I play multiplayer?

You can play against bots, and LAN multiplayer works through self-hosted server containers. The in-game server browser doesn't find internet servers, so you enter an IP manually.

What else runs on it?

Half-Life 1 and mods such as Blue Shift also load in the same engine.

Why shouldn't I use Ctrl+W?

Ctrl+W closes the browser tab in most browsers: play full screen or you will lose your match mid-round.

Tips for Counter-Strike 1.6

  • If the folder picker fails, zip the valve and cstrike folders and use 'open zip' instead.
  • Phones are not supported; this is keyboard and mouse territory.
