Capture the Moment
With the launch of the “Capture the Moment” update in Counter-Strike 2, Valve has revolutionised how fans collect and enjoy souvenir skins in CS2. This update introduces Souvenir Highlight Packages, bringing a whole new level of personalisation and excitement to your Counter-Strike 2 skin collection.
According to the CS2 developers:
“Available exclusively for playoff stage matches, Souvenir Highlight Packages contain a souvenir weapon with an attached charm that features a video highlight from the playoff map you selected. Your weapon's description will include information about the highlight, and you can view the attached clip in your CS2 inventory, in Steam, or while spectating a teammate in-match.”
What Are CS2 Souvenir Highlight Packages?
Each Souvenir Highlight Package in Counter-Strike 2 includes a special souvenir weapon skin that’s more than just cosmetic—it also comes with a video highlight charm from the exact game and map you selected. These aren’t just random clips; they showcase the best play of that match during the playoff stage, making every package a piece of esports history.
Strategy for Collecting Souvenir Highlights in CS2
To get the most out of this new feature:
Focus on playoff stage matches, as these are the only games that drop Souvenir Highlight Packages.
Vary your selections across different matches and maps to collect a variety of highlight charms and rare CS2 souvenir skins.
Keep an eye on standout plays that happened during the Austin 2025 major, as those produced the most impressive highlights.
The charms have full highlights that you can inspect on the weapon or on the charm itself after you detach it. The highlight plays in your Counter-Strike 2 inventory if you hover above the charm as well!
