Finding the game name (map name) of a CS:GO workshop map is straightforward. I'll show you several methods to locate this information quickly and easily.

Method 1: Through the Workshop Page

  1. Open Steam and go to the Workshop page of the map
  2. Look at the map's URL in your browser
  3. The string of numbers at the end of the URL is the map's ID
  4. Copy this ID number for reference

Method 2: Using Console Commands

  1. Launch CS:GO
  2. Open the console (enable it in game settings if not already enabled)
  3. Type "status" in the console while on the map
  4. Look for "map" in the output - this shows the current map name
  5. Copy this name for future reference

Method 3: Checking Map Files

  1. Navigate to your CS:GO workshop folder:
    • Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\730
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/730
    • Linux: ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/workshop/content/730
  2. Open the folder with the corresponding workshop ID
  3. Look for the .bsp file - this is your map's file name

Quick Tips for Map Identification

  • Workshop maps typically follow the format "workshop[ID number]"
  • The map name is usually visible in the loading screen
  • You can find it in the scoreboard when pressing Tab in-game
  • Check the map name in the vote menu when changing maps

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you can't find the map name:

  • Verify the map is properly subscribed and downloaded
  • Restart CS:GO if the map isn't showing up
  • Check if the workshop content is properly synchronized
  • Ensure you have sufficient permissions to access the workshop folders

Remember to save map names you frequently use in a notepad file for quick reference. This helps when setting up practice sessions or organizing community games.
