Operation Shattered Web was the last operation.
The current operation is:
Operation Riptide
When I first made this blog post in 2016 it was the longest break between operations after Bloodhound ended. so I decided to made this post to detailing all release information about the previous operations.
Some of the initial data was sourced from the csgo wiki
The Table below shows info on: Release days of the week (PDT), Release Time (PDT) and duration of all of the previous operations
| Order | Operation | Release Date | Day | Time | Duration | Extended | Gap |
| 1 | Payback | 25-Apr-13 | Thu | 4AM | 128 | Yes | – |
| 2 | Bravo | 19-Sep-13 | Thu | 5PM | 139 | Yes | 19 |
| 3 | Phoenix | 20-Feb-14 | Thu | 9PM | 111 | Yes | 15 |
| 4 | Breakout | 1-Jul-14 | Tue | 4PM | 93 | No | 20 |
| 5 | Vanguard | 11-Nov-14 | Tue | 10PM | 140 | Yes | 40 |
| 6 | Bloodhound | 26-May-15 | Tue | 4PM | 128 | No | 56 |
| 7 | Wildfire | 17-Feb-16 | Wed | 7PM | 149 | No | 139 |
| 8 | Hydra | 23-May-17 | Tue | 3PM | 174 | No | 313 |
| 9 | Shattered Web | 18-Nov-19 | Mon | 6PM | 134 | No | 735 |
| 10 | Broken Fang | 3-Dec-20 | Thu | 10PM | 151 | No | 247 |
| 11 | Riptide | 22-Sep-21 | Wed | 2AM | N/A | N/A | 142 |
Notes: I will be updating these details over time as new operations are released.
- The “Gap” and “Duration” columns are measured in Days
- “Gap” indicates the time where no operation was active, or the time it took for an operation to start after the preceding operation ended.
(Eg. Operation Bloodhound ended a 56 day gap in which no operation was active.) - The heading “Release Time” is the rough time measured in Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) the update was released, rounded to the nearest half hour
- Please contact me if there are any errors or outdated data!

Operation Release Order FAQ
Which operation took the longest to release:
On the 18th of November 2019 – Operation Shattered Web took the cake for the longest time between releases. It took Valve 735 days to drop Operation Shattered Web after the conclusion of Operation Hydra ending (Operation hydra officially ended on 13-Nov-2017)
What is the average duration of an operation?
From the above table, we can see that the average duration of all Operations is 134 days (or just under 4.5 months) also, the new trend appears to be that operations are no longer extended after their initial end date that gets set at the start of the operation.
This may change in the future if valve decide to shake up the Operation formula.
What is the average time between operations?
Again using the table above we can see that the average gap between operations is 172 days (or nearly 5.8 months) so basically waiting for operations occurs more often than they are active. However this changes if we remove the giant break that occurred before shattered web (only 110 days / 3.6 months between Operations)
