With only two weeks remaining till the highly anticipated Budapest Major 2025 kicks off, Valve has officially released the player and team capsules for the event in Counter-Strike 2.
Alongside the sticker capsules, the Viewer Pass for the Budapest Major has also been added to the shooter. Players can grab the Pass and submit their Pick’Ems before the tournament begins for a shot at the prestigious Diamond Coin.
Lastly, the new CS2 update adds a new form of cosmetic to the game called Sticker Slabs. These Sticker Slabs are essentially weapon charms that can be embedded with a single sticker from the player’s inventory. The slab can be broken at any time to recover the sticker or transferred to a different weapon like any other charm.
Without further ado, let’s check out the full patch notes for the latest CS2 update.
