It is often discussed on Reddit that Fracture Case is one of the most likely candidates to move to the rare drop pool.

Players expect prices to rise, but releasing new cases with similar skins may cause a correction.

- Price: From $1.19
- Unique Features: Not a bad set of skins for weapons in the meta, with a relatively modest price tag

BLAST Austin Major 2025 Souvenir Packages
The CS2 Major is in Austin from June 3 through June 22. As before, you can get Souvenir Packages with skins for it. In each Souvenir Package, players will find a weapon with a keychain with a video highlight from the selected map attached. You can view it directly in Steam, your CS2 inventory, or while watching an ally in a match.
Weapon descriptions will also include information about this moment. Souvenir Packages will become available only after the completion of the major – the developers have previously noted that it will take time to create them.
The community reacted strongly and happily to such Souvenir Packages, as Valve decided to go beyond the traditional Major stickers and Pick’Em trophy.
To get a Souvenir Package, you must purchase the BLAST.tv Austin Major Viewer Pass and participate in the Pick’Em challenge. Then you save your Souvenir Tokens until the playoffs and pick a playoff match.
Or, if you want to spend more money, you can buy a Viewer Pass that already comes with three Souvenir Tokens. That way, you’ll get at least three Souvenir Packages once the playoffs start.

What Are The Most Popular CS2 Cases in 2025?
The presence of knives or gloves affects the attractiveness of cases, and removal from the active drop reduces the supply and raises the price. The number of cases in stock has dropped 67% since 2024, spurring price increases. Unique or iconic skins—Printstream, Anubis, Temukau, for example—also affect the attractiveness of cases.
Keep an eye out for cases that come out of active drops – this can be a powerful catalyst for growth. Balanced cases like Fracture, Recoil, and Clutch are suitable for opening and holding.
If you’re looking for maximum returns, Gallery Case remains the best option – it has the highest ROI. If you are looking for rare and expensive skins, consider CS:GO Weapon Case 3 or Operation Hydra Case.
FAQ
What are the New Cases in CS2 in 2025?
The Fever Case is now available in Counter-Strike 2 in 2025. It is a weapon case containing 17 skin designs from community members and Shattered Web knives in Chroma colors.
Is it Worth Opening Cases or Selling Them Better on the Trading Floor?
In most cases, selling cases is more profitable economically. Opening cases is more like entertainment with a lottery element. Choose your approach based on your goals and attitude to risk.
How do Souvenir Packages Differ From Regular Cases?
Souvenir Packages and regular cases in CS2 are different types of containers. Souvenir Packages do not require a key to open—they can be opened for free. They drop only during major tournaments and contain unique “souvenir” versions of skins.
Regular cases require a paid key to open; they appear regularly as part of updates and contain regular skins, including StatTrak versions (with kill tracking).
When is the Next Case in CS2 Expected to be Released?
The developers have not officially confirmed the release date of the next case in CS2, but Fever Case has been released recently.
