CS2 Workshop Update
Valve published "CS2 Workshop Update" on 6 December 2025 in Community Announcements. The PatinaAI market index's median read 30.93 points in the seven days after against 29.40 before, +5.2 %. A typical week moves under 0.1 % either way on the same measure. A read is a comparison with a date, not a cause.
Today we are introducing optional Supplemental Terms for releasing Counter-Strike 2 items in-game, found here , which allows the Counter-Strike 2 team to license items for a flat fee, found below:
Weapon finish: $35,000.00 USD
Sticker: $6,000.00 USD
Charm: $6,000.00 USD
If a Steam account agrees to these new Supplemental Terms, all of the account's Workshop items can now be distributed where Community items were previously not available, such as The Armory.
A Call to Arms-ory
As part of a future update, we are looking for weapon finishes inspired by two themes:
Arabesque Art and Arabian Mythology
Spy/Tech
We are also looking for stickers inspired by two different themes:
Auto Racing
Fruits and Vegetables
To submit weapon finishes and/or stickers to the Call to Arms, select the appropriate option using the updated Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tool:
If you already have Steam Workshop submissions you believe fit into these themes, you will need to re-submit the items and tag them using the options above.
Finally, today we're releasing the Dr. Boom charm model, which can be painted and submitted for a future community charm collection. And we're adding a new Paint Kit type, Custom Paint Job Extended, which includes options for iridescence and other features.
We're excited to see what you come up with!

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 30.93 points against 29.40 over the seven days before: +5.2 %. 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.
The item types and weapons the post names, in the order it names them. A word match, not a reading of the post.
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.
