Guides

How to open your console in CS2?

It is super simple to open the console in CS2. The keybind remains the same as it did in CS:GO. You just have to enable it through your settings. Follow these steps to do so:

If you have a launch command added to CS2 through Steam that automatically brings up the console, it will override the option in the Settings menu. If it is not enabled, the launch command ignores that and opens the console in CS2 regardless.

Many console commands that worked in CS:GO return for CS2, though some popular ones have been removed. With the console open, you can enable cheats in custom games, quickly show your FPS on screen, and much more.
