CS2 "Spring Forward" Update Brings New Skins, Inferno and Train Changes

Valve released the "Spring Forward" update for Counter-Strike 2 on March 31st, adding new skins and significant changes to Inferno and Train maps. The update arrived just before April Fools' Day, bringing several new items into the game.

New Skins and Cases

The update introduces three new Weekly Drop cases:

Additionally, Valve added the new Armory Fever Case and introduced a special collection named Train 2025 Case.
