The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Valve; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Valve has not added Cache to the CS2 Active Duty map pool despite acquiring the remake from FMPONE in May 2025 and issuing teases through late 2025 and early 2026, opting instead for Anubis' return over Train in the January 21 Premier Season Four rotation. Persistent community demand and workshop playtesting have built hype, but no official patch has integrated it into competitive or Premier matchmaking as of early April 2026, with the map pool stable since January. FACEIT's ongoing community vote for an eighth map—pitting Cache against Vertigo and Train for Season 8 on April 22—fuels speculation, though this applies only to their platform, not Valve's core pool. Traders weigh Valve's seasonal update patterns, likely aligning next changes post-IEM Cologne Major, against the April 30 deadline.
