Since its initial release in September 2023, Valve’s competitive shooter Counter-Strike 2 has managed to captivate the FPS gaming community with its immersive gameplay and engaging game mechanics. It’s a significant improvement over its predecessor, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and has redefined the genre with the concept of sub-tick servers.
With more and more players opting to try out CS2 over the past few months, the number of players who are returning to the game from CSGO is also greater than ever.
If you’re a veteran CSGO player who’s returning to CS2 after several months, the first thing you might be looking to do is transfer your CSGO config to CS2.
While transferring your CSGO config to CS2 might look complicated at first, it’s an extremely simple process and takes no more than a few seconds to complete.
How To Transfer CSGO Config To CS2: Explained
Before you transfer your CSGO config to CS2, do note that it’s better to make your new CS2 config manually instead of transferring your old config to this game. This is because many of the old commands that used to work in CSGO no longer work in CS2, and may cause issues in the Source 2 version of the shooter.
With that being said, if you still want to transfer your CSGO config to CS2, here’s how you do it:
- Find the CFG folder in your Steam Userdata. This can be found in the following directory – ‘Program Files (x86)’ -> ‘Steam’ -> ‘userdata’ -> STEAMID-> ‘730’ -> ‘local’ -> ‘cfg’.
- Copy the config.cfg and autoexec.cfg, if you have any.
- Head to ‘Program Files (x86)’ -> ‘Steam’ -> ‘steamapps’ -> ‘common’ -> ‘Counter-Strike Global Offensive’ -> ‘game’ -> ‘csgo’ -> ‘cfg’.
- Paste the config and autoexec.
And that’s it! You have successfully transferred your CSGO cfg to CS2.
