Skins in Counter-Strike 2 are growing in value faster than stocks or gold in the real world. However, this can’t be applied to all skins. The CS.MONEY Blog has prepared a prediction for CS2 skins that are likely to rise in price in 2025.
Before we begin, a disclaimer. We are not giving investment advice—we’re simply highlighting market trends. The final decision is always yours. Let’s go!
CS.MONEY is your easy way to buy skins. There are thousands of different options for every taste and color—all at low prices.
Agents
New agents, the characters that replace the default models in the game, haven’t appeared in CS2 for several years. All previous releases were time-limited. In other words, agents in CS2 are a limited item, which is one of the reasons for their price increase.
Since the release of CS2, agent prices have been volatile, and some even dropped at certain points. However, the general trend is still positive. This is especially true for community-favorite agents like Number K. Its price has nearly doubled in the past year and has confidently surpassed the $50 mark.
CS2 Cases
Another type of item with potential for price growth is old cases. The reason for this is the drop system in CS2. Every week, when a player levels up, they receive a “reward” from the game in the form of four items to choose from. One of these items is a container, which can be a capsule with stickers or a skin case.
The catch is that the cases are divided into two large categories. The first one contains regular Drop Cases:
Rare Drop Cases (the second category) are much rarer—they drop 1,000 times less often! This drastically reduces supply in the market, leading to price increases. For example, the Glove Case has seen its price increase from $5 to $9 per case over the past year, almost doubling. Even newer and more common cases in the rare drop pool are showing price growth trends.
Limited Skin Collections
Skins in CS2 are grouped into collections. Some collections are found in cases, others in souvenir sets, and some can even be purchased directly from the in-game store. Because of this, most skins from collections are limited in quantity. Moreover, their number is decreasing over time, which can lead to price increases.
Here are a few examples of skins that have risen in price. AK-47 Baroque Purple from the The Canals collection has increased by 30-40% over the past year, depending on wear, and Tec-9 Decimator has increased by about 35% in the last year. There are many such skins. Here are a few to keep an eye on:
When selecting skins for investment, it’s important to consider all risks and avoid choosing just one skin. Diversification is a key strategy in such investments—it’s simple but effective.
There are many items in CS2 that are growing in value. While it’s impossible to guarantee price increases, diversifying your investment portfolio can significantly reduce risks and increase returns. By the way, CS.MONEY Wiki can help with this. Every skin, sticker, agent, or item in the game has its own page, where you can find various information, including price history.
