Counter-Strike 2 is an immensely popular free-to-play first-person shooter, serving as an upgraded version of CS: GO, enabling you to transfer all your skins and gear from CS: GO. Retaining many elements from its predecessor, Counter-Strike 2 includes a replay function. This feature not only aids in identifying suspicious adversaries but also facilitates skill enhancement by allowing you to revisit matches and derive insights from them.

In addition to reviewing replays, you can expedite the process to swiftly reach noteworthy moments in a match, whether extraordinary or embarrassing. Here's a guide on how to fast-forward through replays in Counter-Strike 2.

How to Quickly Skip Through Replays in Counter-Strike 2

Before delving into fast-forwarding techniques, familiarize yourself with the replay viewing process.

• Upon loading the video clip, press Shift + F2 to activate the replay console.
• Once activated, explore various viewing options, including the fast-forward function.
• Locate the fast-forward controls adjacent to the previous/next round buttons and select your preferred playback speed.

Apart from the conventional method, you can expedite your CS2 replays by employing console commands. To initiate this, first access the console by pressing the ‘~’ key on your keyboard. Subsequently, input 'demo_timescale' followed by a numerical value. For instance, entering 'demo_timescale 2' will accelerate the replay by 2x. When viewing a replay, utilize the slider to navigate forwards or backwards.

If pressing the tilde key fails to open the console, consider rebinding the console key. Navigate to the ‘Game’ section within settings and select the ‘go to console key binding’ option.
