Someone made a fully functional Rubik’s Cube inside Counter-Strike 2

Custom maps have always been fun, experimental spaces where players can test their skills, enjoy some light-hearted moments, or try something completely new. Source engine games have long had a community built around fun, casual maps. These custom maps are created by players and enthusiasts rather than Valve, and they help keep the game fresh and engaging, especially after you’ve played Mirage hundreds of times over.
Speaking of which, we recently came across a “fully breakable” version of Mirage, where players can destroy walls, large structures, windows, and just about everything that gets in their way. Now, player Airee has decided to bring their creativity to Workshop maps with the “CS2 Rubik’s Cube.”
Can you solve a Rubik’s Cube?
Pretty easy to guess from the name, this CS2 Rubik’s Cube map features a fully functional and solvable 3×3 Rubik’s Cube built right inside Counter-Strike 2. Players can interact with a giant 3D cube that works just like the real thing, meaning you’ll need to be somewhat experienced with a Rubik’s Cube to solve it.
Details about the map are scarce on its official page, but we went ahead and tested it ourselves. You load inside a room with a large Rubik’s Cube suspended in the center, along with four separate control stations. You can walk up to any of these stations, each featuring a set of buttons that lets you control different layers of the cube using the default action “E” key. There's also an upper floor that gives you a clearer view of the top layer, along with controls to operate the cube from above as well.
If you think you’re up for the challenge, the map is available for download on the Steam Community Workshop. To start playing, simply add it to your game by clicking the Subscribe button. At the time of writing, the map has no ratings yet but has picked up a few visitors and a humble 8 subscribers.
We’re not sure if solving the cube triggers any kind of special celebration, but we sure hope it does.
