Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) hosts all of its games on servers. On a typical match, you’ll be playing online with strangers, all on the same server. If you wanted to play with your own friends, with your own rules, then you’ll need a private server all to yourself. We call these dedicated servers, as no one else can join them aside from who you want on. Dedicated servers are awesome for pure and classic FPS fun with your friends, and they allow you to make all your amature mistakes without judgment. If your friends don’t notice, that is. Here is how to create your own dedicated server in CS2.
These dedicated servers are excellent ways to practice locked game modes, like Wingman, ahead of time. You can play against your buddies or bots, to enhance your skill and git gud, so you won’t destroy your W/L or K/D ratios when playing against other players.
There are two ways to create your dedicated server in CS2. Using the menu, or using the console. Here are both methods:
Creating a server using the menu in CS2 is super easy, just follow these steps:
This practice server will not be public, and you can practice all you want, with bots, friends, or both.

This alternate method requires the use of the developer’s console. Simply follow these steps:
This method is even easier, but both methods work the same. Like the practice server, you can invite your friends here, and you can all fool around.
