Take advantage of launch commands to get the most out of your game. Here are the best launch options for you.

Launch options in Counter-Strike aren’t new. For many years in Global Offensive, it was used to prepare practice servers, get the best FPS, or launch autoexec files for binds and Jump-Throws. Therefore, some of these commands were more than essential to have a smooth game experience at a higher level.

Although Counter-Strike 2 has seen Valve move towards inclusivity, there are still some commands that are useful to have. Things like the autoexec and tickrate commands are no longer needed as they are hard-coded into the game. Still, we have a few CS2 launch options to help you get the best out of your setup and game.
