Do CS:GO Items Transfer to Counter-Strike 2?

Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) was officially announced as a free upgrade to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) and it left a lot of players concerned about their existing inventories. Some players have spent years collecting skins in CS:GO and sometimes the cosmetics can fetch massive amounts of money. Here’s what you need to know about CS:GO items transferring over to Counter-Strike 2.

All your CS:GO items will be available in Counter-Strike 2

When Valve announced Counter-Strike 2, it revealed that all CS:GO items will be transferred over to Counter-Strike 2 and you do not have to worry about losing any items. With CS2 being a direct upgrade for existing CS:GO players, you don’t have to worry about manually transferring your items. When the game releases, all of your items will automatically be classified under Counter-Strike 2 in the Steam Marketplace.

The marketplace prices of the skins should not change much with the release of Counter-Strike but Valve has not revealed any details about CS2’s monetization yet. If you want to keep track of what your inventory is worth before CS:GO transitions to CS2, here’s what you need to do: 

Check your CS:GO/Counter-Strike 2 inventory value

1. Launch Steam and click on your username (next to the Community tab)

2. Click on Inventory

3. Browse through all of your CS:GO/CS2 items and check their current marketplace values

4. You will need to go through all of your items and total the amount

5. While there are third-party tools that can automate this process, we do not recommend linking third-party apps to Steam unless it’s from a verified publisher.
