How to Play Workshop Maps on Your CS2 Server

How to load Steam Workshop maps and collections on your Counter-Strike 2 dedicated server.

Loading a Single Workshop Map

Add to startup parameters:

+host_workshop_map 3070288532

Replace with the Workshop map's ID (from its Steam Workshop URL).

+host_workshop_collection 125499818

This loads all maps in the collection as the server's map rotation.

Command	Description
`host_workshop_map <ID>`	Download and load a specific workshop map
`host_workshop_collection <ID>`	Load a collection as map group
`ds_workshop_listmaps`	List available workshop maps on server
`ds_workshop_changelevel <mapname>`	Switch to a workshop map

Go to the map's Steam Workshop page. The ID is in the URL:

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3070288532

The ID is 3070288532.

Delete the cached workshop folder and restart to force re-download:

/game/bin/linuxsteamrt64/steamapps/workshop/

📝 Note: CS2 only supports Workshop for custom maps. The old FastDL system is no longer supported.
