Counter-Strike 2 Update
Valve published "Counter-Strike 2 Update" on 4 November 2025 in Community Announcements. The PatinaAI market index's median read 30.56 points in the seven days after against 30.49 before, +0.2 %. A typical week moves under 0.1 % either way on the same measure. A read is a comparison with a date, not a cause.
[ GAMEPLAY ]
Fixed a case where air acceleration was clamped incorrectly while surfing.
Fixed a case where slowly surfing up a ramp was handled incorrectly due to misidentification as a jump apex.
Fix a bug causing "Delay Sniper Rifle Un-Scope after Shot" to be inconsistent.
[ DEMO ]
Added TrueView demo playback, which reconstructs the observed player's original experience more accurately by re-running client-side prediction.
TrueView playback will show the effects of Damage Prediction, if it was enabled by the observed player at the time.
TrueView does not reconstruct the precise timings of rendered frames, so some differences between the original player's experience and TrueView playback will remain, especially in very slow motion playback. The player's frame at the time when the mouse was clicked, which is used for hit registration, is shown accurately to the nearest demo playback frame. However, reaction effects such as recoil, muzzle flash, blood splatter, and ragdoll are delayed while playing the game by one or two frames due to the way CPU and GPU work is pipelined, and will not appear at the same time during demo playback.
TrueView demo playback might not work properly on old demos and is disabled by default if the playback client version does not match the client version when the demo was recorded. You can set cl_demo_predict 2 to override this.
Fixed a bug causing third person models to not animate smoothly.
Fixed a bug causing time to lurch forward by one tick when unpausing a demo.
[ MISC ]
Animation fixes for G3SG1 bolt.
Fixed developer console scrollbar to accept mouse clicks.

No read: the venues' daily prices do not cover the days around this post.
The PatinaAI market index's median over the seven days after the post was 30.56 points against 30.49 over the seven days before: +0.2 %. A typical week moves under 0.1 % either way on the same measure, the drift this read has to beat. The post's own day is left out. A comparison with a date, not causation.
How to read the number
The read compares the market index's median over the seven UTC days after the post with the seven days before it, the post's own day left out, and needs at least three published days on each side. The same measure taken on every day of the series is the drift a typical week shows; a read inside that drift is the market doing what it was doing. Neither is proof the post moved anything. The composite is on the market report, every basket under the indexes, and every update is on one list.
