Playing a Private Match in CS2
To start private matchmaking, you first need to enter the “Private Matchmaking” game mode and then send the lobby’s code to other players. After that, simply click the “GO” button as you would for any other game mode and enjoy the private match. To help make the process easier to understand, here’s the step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Launch CS2 and click the “PLAY” button from the home screen.
Step 2: Click the “MATCHMAKING” button.
Step 3: Select the “PRIVATE MATCHMAKING” game mode.
Step 4: Click on the “SHARE CODE” button.
Step 5: Send the code to other players.
Step 6: Once they have the code, ask them to go to the same “PRIVATE MATCHMAKING” screen and click the “Manually Enter a Code” option.
Step 7: Now, ask them to enter the code and click the “Join Queue” button.
Step 8: Once other players enter your private lobby, click the green “GO” button to start matchmaking.

Conclusion
Keep in mind that if you have shared the code with more than 10 players, the players that enter the match with you will be completely random, just as regular matchmaking is. If you don’t want that to happen, make sure you send the code to only those players who you want in the match.
