The undeniable king of tactical FPS on PC, as well as Steam itself, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has retained a massive level of popularity over the years thanks to its iconic maps. Aside from maps designed by Valve themselves, CS:GO will also rotate in community-made maps, with the absolute best of those given the opportunity to remain as permanent additions.
Other than the traditional competitive bomb defusal mode, CS:GO has many different playable game modes each with its own unique map pool. Valve likes to change these pools around frequently, so it can be a little challenging to keep up for players who aren’t playing each and every day.
Here are all the currently active maps in CS:GO, including the ones designated for Active Duty and competitive play.
Active Duty maps
The Active Duty maps are considered the best of the best by Valve, regarded as the most competitive and balanced maps in the current pool. They are the selection of maps used by virtually all competitive CS:GO tournaments, including the prestigious Majors sponsored by Valve themselves.
The Active Duty map pool typically features seven maps, allowing for balanced pick-and-ban selections at tournaments. The last change to the Active Duty map pool was on Nov. 18, 2022, when Anubis was added in place of Dust II.
