Valve Removed the Anubis Collection From CS2 After the Major

Valve released the first Counter-Strike 2 update following the end of the Major, during which viewer passes and the Anubis Collection package were removed from the in-game store. This decision immediately drew the attention of the community and players who actively follow the CS2 economy.

The Anubis Collection was added to the game on April 25, 2023, and for 965 days remained one of the most unusual in CS history. Unlike most cases, it could be purchased directly in the store and opened without using a key, which made the collection especially accessible to a wide audience. At the same time, it contained valuable and visually appealing skins that were attractive both to players and investors.

The removal of the Anubis Collection from the store had an almost immediate impact on the market. Prices for skins from this collection began to rise since their source of supply was completely cut off. Special attention was drawn to the M4A4 | Eye of Horus, which had already started steadily increasing in price several months before the update. This triggered active discussions within the community about possible insider information and pre-planned purchases.

Currently, no information has been released from Valve regarding this incident, and whether the removal of the collection is a final decision or not is unknown. Maybe Anubis could come back in a new form or be included in future content. Yet, the history of CS indicates that this kind of measure includes making collections rare.

Until then, the only option for the players is to wait and see the market and the decisions that the developers will make on the future of the Anubis Collection skins.
