The maps in Counter-Strike 2 have provided some of the most exciting updates, and we’ve got the full list including iconic entries like Dust 2, Mirage, Train, and more.
While there are no new maps coming to Counter-Strike 2, there are a lot of visual upgrades and changes happening to a lot of our favourite locales, making them look a lot better and take advantage of the new tech. Not every map is getting the full makeover, but you can find out which ones are improving in the game below.
So, make sure to continue reading to find out more about the maps in Counter-Strike 2, as we’ve got the details you’ll need to know about the map tiers and all of the maps listed too.
Counter-Strike 2 map tiers
Valve has explained that there are three tiers of maps coming to Counter-Strike 2: Touchstone Maps, Upgrade maps, and Full Overhaul maps.
Firstly, there are Touchstone maps – these are fan-favourite maps from CS:GO that don’t need too much doing to them in terms of layout and visual style. The example given in the video is Dust 2, a map that any seasoned Counter-Strike player will recognise in a heartbeat.
Touchstone maps have seen small updates to how they look, especially in the lighting and textures department. While there might be small tweaks to the level geometry, these will largely appear as you remember them.
Next up are Upgrade maps. These are maps that aren’t quite up to the modern standard, so Valve has gone back in to restore them with physically based lighting systems and fully reworked geometry. Maps like Nuke see the largest benefit from this, looking far better than it currently does in CS:GO.
Lastly, we have Full Overhaul maps. These are maps that needed some serious love, and so Valve has recreated them from the ground up. Using everything that the Source 2 engine has to offer, you can essentially see these almost as new maps – Overpass is just one of the maps to get this treatment.

Here are all of the maps that are currently available in Counter-Strike 2:
- Ancient
- Anubis
- Dust II
- Inferno
- Mirage
- Nuke
- Overpass
- Vertigo
- Italy (Hostage)
- Office (Hostage)
That makes 10 maps available in Counter-Strike 2 right now, with eight of them in the current Active Duty Pool. There have been a few other maps either shown in the initial reveal trailer, or found in the game’s files, but they have not been added to the game officially yet so we have left them out.
In terms of remakes, Overpass, Inferno, and Italy are the only maps to have received a Full Overhaul at this current point in time, and they certainly shine the brightest when it comes to graphical beauty.
