How to Load Workshop Maps on Your Counter-Strike 2 Server

Updated 10 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Steam Workshop maps can be loaded on your Counter-Strike 2 server by passing the host_workshop_map parameter with the Workshop item ID. This guide uses the Host Havoc command line manager to apply the setting.

To find the Workshop ID for a map, open the map's Steam Workshop page. The ID is the number at the end of the URL, for example https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3070290869 has Workshop ID 3070290869.

Steps

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Stop your server.
  3. Click the Command Line Manager icon.
  4. Click the Custom Command Lines tab.
  5. Click Edit on your existing custom command line. If you do not have one, click +New to create one.
  6. In the Additional Settings field, add +host_workshop_map <WorkshopID>, replacing <WorkshopID> with the numeric ID of the map.
    +host_workshop_map 3070290869
  7. Click Save.
  8. If this is a new command line, click the Select button to make it active. The button will display Selected once active.

Start your server. It will load the specified Workshop map on launch.

Troubleshooting

If the map does not load, confirm the Workshop ID is correct and that the map is publicly available. Private or unlisted Workshop items cannot be downloaded by the server.
