Valve’s deliberate map rotation schedule and the recent Cache addition to the active duty pool in July 2026 continue to shape expectations around a potential Cobblestone return. The map has remained absent from official competitive and Premier pools since its 2018 removal, with only early-2026 datamined files and workshop speculation providing hints of development rather than confirmed progress. Valve typically spaces major updates 17-plus months apart, often aligning releases with Premier season shifts or post-Major rotations. Any Cobblestone remake would likely require substantial Source 2 work and a thematic overhaul, positioning a realistic addition no earlier than 2027. Community demand remains high following Cache’s return, yet official announcements have been absent, leaving traders focused on Valve’s historical patterns for timing clues.

If Cobblestone is added to the Active Duty pool, it must remain there continuously for at least 48 hours for the relevant market to resolve to "Yes". Temporary additions (e.g., for testing) that are reversed within 48 hours will not count. If Cobblestone is added after the deadline, the relevant market will resolve to "No", even if the addition was announced earlier.
For the purpose of this market, "Valve" refers to Valve Corporation, the developer and publisher of the Counter-Strike series.
For the purpose of this market, the "official map pool" refers to the Active Duty map group in Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), which consists of the maps eligible for both competitive matchmaking and professional tournaments.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Valve; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
