How to Keep Your CS2 Server Updated Automatically

How to set up automatic updates for your Counter-Strike 2 dedicated server.

Manual Update

Stop your server from Console.

In the XGamingServer Panel, on the Dashboard, click Reinstall Server.

Wait, then start.

Auto-Update on Restart

XGamingServer typically auto-updates CS2 on each server restart if configured in Startup settings.

Important

  • CS2 updates frequently — keeping the server updated is critical
  • Version mismatches prevent players from connecting
  • After updates, check that plugins still work (Metamod/CounterStrikeSharp may need updating)
