How to Skip the Tutorial in CS2

If you don’t want to waste your time having the game explain every little thing to you while you’re forced to play a tedious match against the bots, luckily you can skip it. Open up the main menu and head to the settings. Make sure the option for Developer Console is enabled under Game Settings. Once that’s set close out of the settings and hit the ‘~’ key while you’re in the tutorial level. This will open up the Developer Console for you to type commands into.

In order to skip the majority of the tutorial match we can type in the command: mp_maxrounds 1

This command will set the rounds of the match down to just the one. Now all you will need to do is finish off the round that you’re currently in. This will then end the tutorial afterwards. Congrats, you’ve just saved yourself a whole bunch of time! Now you can get in to the important things, like playing against actual players, leveling up and collecting your weekly rewards and diving in to the extensive CS2 skins market!

That’s how you skip the annoying tutorial in CS2. This will help you get in to the real game much quicker to start enjoying the real game!
