HomeGames, How toCS2 gets first community maps in huge June update

After weeks of speculation about Valve’s plans for a 25th anniversary Counter-Strike update, the developers have finally broken their silence with The Real MVP patch, a surprise June update packed with content including five new community-designed maps spanning multiple game modes—a first for CS2.

Community Cards ARE BACK in CS2!

Valve announced the update on June 25 in a blog post, detailing the maps, a revamped MVP UI system, an adjustment to how players earn ranks in Competitive (not Premier), and a number of bug fixes. We’ve seen community map updates in the past, most notably alongside the launch of a CS:GO Operation, but this time around the focus is on the maps themselves.

Two maps have been added to the CS2 Competitive pool: Thera, designed by FMPONE and based on the classic map Santorini, and Mills, a new map where players compete in the streets of a small Dutch town.

We got a preview of Thera back in April 2023, with FMPONE regularly giving players sneak peeks with new screenshots of the Greek infrastructure on the map.
