Valve Adds Weekly Missions and New Maps to CS2

Counter-Strike 2 has received a fresh update: Valve developers have introduced the Weekly Missions system, added new custom maps to matchmaking, and redistributed the Casual and Deathmatch groups. The patch notes are published in the official CS2 blog and are already available in the game.

Among the main changes: the return of the legendary map Agency , the addition of new maps Jura and Grail, fresh maps Dogtown and Brewery in Wingman mode, and the launch of the weekly missions system with XP rewards. The update also includes audio fixes and user interface improvements.
