The Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools are an optional free download included in Counter-Strike 2 and must be installed to create workshop items or addons. Unlike CS:GO Authoring Tools, which requires CS:GO purchased prior to 2018, or requires Prime Status, it is available for all users for free.
Warning:The Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools is currently available only for Windows systems.
Installing the Tools
- Right click Counter-Strike 2 in your Steam Library, and choose "Properties..." from the drop-down menu.
- Navigate to the DLC tab and click the "Install" checkbox next to Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools. This will begin the download.
If you don't see the tools under DLC tab, relaunch Steam. There's a pending update that needs to be installed for the DLC to show up.
Launching the Tools
- To launch the Workshop tools, press the "Play" button in your Steam library (or right-click the game in your library and choose Play).
- A dialog box should pop up with different launch options, Select "Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools".
