Valve’s map pool rotations in CS2 follow a consistent six-month cycle aligned with Premier seasons and Major events, with the most recent update in January 2026 removing Train from Active Duty and reinstating Anubis after its collection package was pulled. Trader consensus reflects this pattern, pricing low probabilities for additional removals by June 30 amid ongoing speculation that Cache’s long-rumored return will require one map to exit the competitive pool. Play rates, pro feedback, and balance data from recent events continue to highlight underperformers like Ancient and Overpass as potential candidates, while Mirage and Inferno show stronger historical usage. Any patch or official announcement before the deadline could shift implied probabilities quickly.
