How to Change the Map on Your Counter-Strike 2 Community Server

Counter-Strike 2 community servers allow you to set a default map that loads automatically when players join the server. You can choose from all built-in CS2 maps and configure them through your server control panel.

If you are looking to use Steam Workshop maps or Workshop map collections, please refer to our separate guide on using Steam Workshop content on your Counter-Strike 2 server.

Common Default Maps

Map NameFile Name
Miragede_mirage
Infernode_inferno
Dust IIde_dust2
Anubisde_anubis
Ancientde_ancient
Nukede_nuke
Overpassde_overpass
Vertigode_vertigo
Officecs_office
Italycs_italy

You can find all available default maps by navigating to the Files tab in your control panel and opening:

/game/csgo/maps

Setting the Default Map

  1. Log in to your server control panel.
  2. Stop your server.
  3. Navigate to the Config tab.
  4. Locate the Map field.
  5. Enter the desired map name (for example, de_mirage).
  6. Save your changes.
  7. Start your server.

Once the server starts, it will automatically load the selected map.

Changing the Map via Console

You can also change the active map while the server is running by using the console command below:

map mapname

Example:

map de_dust2

The server will immediately switch to the selected map.
