How to Play On Community Servers in CS2

Community Servers have been a crucial part of the CSGO community, as players can enjoy other game modes on these servers when they get tired of the usual matchmaking game modes. The community servers are loaded with many other features that you won’t find in regular matchmaking, along with their leaderboard rankings, custom maps, and unique skins.

However, as of yet, there is no option to join community servers in CS2. But, there are some community servers up and running since the closed beta for the game was released, which you can join using the method we have provided in this guide. Here’s how to play on Community Servers in CS2.

Once you find the server of your choice from these two websites, copy the IP address of the server you want to join and start your game. Open the console by pressing the Tilde (~) button on your keyboard and paste the copied IP address into the console.
