CS2's cases, skins, stickers, charms and agents, priced from the real marketplaces. Play offline on your own save, or online with everyone else.
CS2's weapon cases, souvenir packages, sticker and autograph capsules and more, with CS2's drop odds. With CS2 installed, weapon cases and recent souvenir packages drop in as their own 3D crate, land and unlock with the game's animations and sounds before the reel.
CS2's wear distribution and pattern seeds, with the rare ones: Blue Gems measured from CS2's own Case Hardened pattern, Fades by percentage, Doppler phases, Fire & Ice and every rare pattern the CS.MONEY Wiki lists. Unboxed items get serial numbers.
Your inventory with its value, float ranks and a loadout for gloves, knife, agents and every gun. Place stickers anywhere, hang charms, and keep up to 1,000 items in each Storage Unit, like CS2's.
Trade Up Contracts with CS2's rules: ten skins for one of the next rarity, StatTrak™ contracts, and five Coverts for a knife or gloves. Spend Armory Stars on featured collections that rotate every 10 to 15 minutes, and on all four charm collections.
Offline, 2,000 made-up players have inventories of their own, and their traders message you with offers: collectors chase Blue Gems and low floats, beginners misjudge prices, and you can haggle. Online, Steam-style friends, chat, profiles and trade offers with real players.
The Market is where players list what they own and buy from each other, each listing with its float, pattern and stickers. The Store is the game's own limited stock, restocked every 10 minutes. Prices come from Skinport, CSFloat, Buff163 and YouPin.
Case battles from 1v1 to 2v2, normal or crazy, plus coinflip and jackpot, against bots or other players online. Virtual money only, with no house edge and a button to check every result is provably fair.
$100 a minute while the game is open and while it's closed (up to 12 hours at a time), and $100 a minute more for every prestige. Level up to 40, then prestige for the next Service Medal: 69 of them, each with its badge.
CS2's collectibles: pins from Pin Capsules that trade like stickers, and Service Medals from prestiging. Feature one on your profile picture, which can be your own image or any agent, with a CS2 map behind your profile and six items to show off.
Every skin, knife, glove, sticker, charm and agent in the game. Open one to see every copy that exists, who owns it, its float, pattern and float rank, and the lowest and highest floats of any skin.
With CS2 installed, guns and knives are inspected on their real CS2 models, with CS2's own skin shader baking each skin for its exact float and pattern. Put a CS2 map behind them, or inspect in first person with CS2's animations.
A lasting record of everything you've unboxed: when you first got it, how many, your lowest float and best pattern. Finish a case or a collection for XP and Armory Stars.
With CS2 installed, Play loads any bomb defusal map from your own install, such as Dust II, Mirage, Inferno, Nuke, Ancient or Anubis, and puts you in with your equipped skins, gloves, knife and agent. The bots play as teams, with economy calls, real lineups and CS2's movement, weapons, grenades and sounds.
Every match pays into your wallet: $1,250 for a win or a draw, $500 for a loss, plus $100 a kill, $50 an assist and $250 for each round MVP.
Taken in the game, version 1.1.8, with CS2 installed. The save in them was set up for the pictures, with some rare items added to it; a new save starts with $10. Select one to see it full size.
Yes. The game is free to download and to play, offline and online. There's nothing to buy with real money: every case, key and item is paid for with the game's own virtual money, which you earn in the game, and nothing in it can be cashed out.
No. It never asks for your Steam login and has nothing to do with your Steam account or inventory: nothing you get in the game is a real item, and nothing real comes in.
If CS2 is installed, the game reads CS2's files on your disk to show its 3D models, maps and sounds, and keeps what it exports in its own folder. It only reads those files: it never changes them, and it never interacts with CS2 itself while CS2 is running. CS2's own files aren't in the download: its models, maps and sounds come from your install. Only a set of charm pictures, rendered from CS2's charms, ships with the game.
The game's exe isn't code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may say Windows protected your PC the first time you run it after downloading it in your browser. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Some antivirus programs are wary of new, unsigned programs in the same way. Updates the game downloads and installs itself don't normally ask.
Download it only from this site or from the releases on GitHub, where every release lists the SHA-256 of each file, and so does its latest.json. Once it's installed, the game updates itself from the same place.
Your offline save is on your PC, in %APPDATA%\CS2 Case Simulator\save.json, next to the cache of what the game exports from CS2 (cs2cache). Paste %APPDATA%\CS2 Case Simulator into File Explorer's address bar to open the folder. The admin panel (More → Admin) can also take snapshots of your offline save, and export and import it.
An online account is saved on the game's server, apart from your offline save.
Click Offline at the top right of the game, pick a username and a password, and choose Create account. An online account starts fresh with $10 and is kept on the server, so you can trade, chat, gamble and queue for matches with other players. Your offline save stays on your PC, and you can switch back to it any time: click your name, then Log out.
Only the latest version of the game plays online; it updates itself when a new one is out. Link your Discord account (click your name, then Link Discord) and you can get a code from our Discord server if you ever forget your password.
No. Cases, the inventory, trading, the Market and Store, trade-ups, the Armory and gambling all work without it, offline and with an online account. Play mode (matches against bots, and online matches against other players), the real 3D models, the inspect's backdrops and the 3D crates need Counter-Strike 2 installed through Steam, because they come from your own copy of the game.
Join our Discord for release pings, rare drops from online play, and the people you'll be trading with. Every release, with its notes, is on GitHub, and the game tells you itself when there's a new one.
