Counter Strike 2 is the newest release of the popular Counter Strike series, succeeding Counter-Strike: Global Offensive while also allowing the player base to retain any item or player skins that have been purchased or earned. Counter Strike 2, however, is still converting certain features from CS:GO, including the in-game server browser. As a result, the only current way to connect to a server is through the Steam client.

Note: If the server has a password, the developer console steps must be used here.
