CS2 received an unusual update from Valve

The CS2 developers released an update focused on map creators, expanding their functionality. Some believe this could lead to an increase in the number of maps in the future.

Functionality for map creators:

• Workshop maps can now store up to 1 MB of data

• The saved data size limit can be adjusted using the command sv_workshop_map_save_data_max_filesize_mb

• Fixed a bug where CSDamageTypes was exported under the name CSDamageType

Miscellaneous:

• Grenade lineup guides for de_ancient can now be used on de_ancient_night and vice versa.

• Localization files have been updated.

• Update size: 61.9 MB

It is still not entirely clear why this functionality update was released only now, but some link it to the ongoing work on Operations for Counter-Strike 2.
