A Counter-Strike 2 FPS counter would let the most competitive players analyze their technical performance even more closely. A high frame rate is pivotal in a shooter like this. Here’s how to get the CS2 FPS console command working and how to see the FPS.
What is the CS2 FPS console command?
To get the CS2 FPS console command up and running, you first need to enable the console commands. In order to enable them, go into the settings in main menu. From there, go to the “Game” section. There will be an option that says “Enable Developer Console.” Make sure that it says “Yes” on the right of it.
It should default to the “`” key, which is the key just under the Escape key. Press it and it will open up the console commands.
Type in “cl_showfps 1” and hit Enter. This will then bring up a frame rate counter on the left. It is sometimes hard to see, but it is in red text on the left on top of the map. Typing in “cl_showfps 0” in the console commands will turn this feature off.
There is also an alternate way to show the frame rate in Counter-Strike 2 that doesn’t use the console commands. Press Shift and Tab to open up the Steam mini-overlay. From there, go to the settings and then choose “In Game.” There will be an option called “In-game FPS counter.” Click it and then choose where you want the counter to be.
After that, a small ticker will pop up based on where you wanted it to be in the previous menu. It is extremely small and sometimes difficult to see in certain scenarios, but it is also reliably there if you need it. To turn it off, just go back to that “In-game FPS counter” menu and make sure it says “Off.”
