Sharing your favorite CS2 moments just got a whole lot easier. Introducing Game Recording, a new built-in Steam feature that lets you clip your clutch kills and ridiculous spray transfers with the click of a few buttons.

Game Recording saves your gameplay by recording in the background (or by pressing a hotkey), so you can play it back any time you want--even while you're still playing. CS2 recordings will feature a timeline auto-filled with game-defined markers (like kills and deaths), but you can add your own markers at any time.

An update has been released for Left 4 Dead 2:

- Fixed a regression that blocked taking screenshots.

Since the launch of CS2, community map mappers have been hard at work creating new experiences and updating some classics. Today, we're excited to add the first community maps to CS2!


For those of you who dream of Italian weddings, or airplane manufacture (or both!), we've got you covered. Memento and Assembly are now available in Wingman.


And if you're in the mood for something a bit more... chaotic, take a dip in the classic Pool Day, which is now available in Arms Race.


Finally, fight your way through the streets of Thera and Mills in Deathmatch and Casual, and put these maps through their paces in Competitive Matchmaking.

Speaking of Competitive Matchmaking, we've given map-based skill groups an overhaul. In addition to redistributing players across the Skill Groups, we've also made it easier to earn those badges in the first place.



There are a bunch of other fixes and adjustments in today's update, including a brand new MVP panel (and animated MVPs in Premier!) and new ways to optimize your video settings.

Jump into a match and check it out!
