The index by weapon category
Each category is indexed the same way, on its own most listed skins and from the same start. Compare the changes, not the levels: a category that started cheap and one that started dear both read 100 on day one.
How the index is made
- What it follows. The daily lowest ask across 8 marketplaces for 259 skins: the 40 most listed skins of each weapon category whose dearest wear costs at least $5, kept when today's lowest ask is at least $1 with 15 or more offers. One version of each: Field-Tested, else the first regular version.
- How it moves. Each day the index changes by the average change of the skins that have a price on both that day and the day before, every skin weighted equally. A skin that enters or leaves the data does not move the line by itself, and one day's change of a single skin is capped at 50%.
- Where it starts. 100 on 31 Jan 2025, the first day with enough priced skins in Gamezod's daily price history. A change over 7, 30 or 90 days compares the median of the last three index values with the median of the three around the day that long ago.
- What it is not. It is not Steam Community Market data, not a market capitalisation (there is no sales volume in it) and not a forecast. Knives and gloves are part of the sample and have their own rows in the table above.

Questions about the index
Is the CS2 skin market up or down?
On 3 Oct 2026 the index reads 72.2, −0.8% over 7 days, −4.7% over 30 days and −12.8% over 90 days. It is 38.0% below its high of 116.4 on 12 Mar 2025. It describes 259 widely listed skins, not every item.
What does the Gamezod CS2 skin index measure?
The daily lowest ask across the eight tracked marketplaces for the most listed skins of every weapon category, one version of each (Field-Tested, else the first regular one), with every skin weighted equally. It starts at 100 on the first day of Gamezod's daily price history and moves each day by the average change of the skins priced on both days.
Why does the index use the lowest ask and not Steam prices?
Steam Community Market prices are paid in wallet funds that cannot be withdrawn, and Steam keeps a fee. The lowest ask on the marketplaces is the price a buyer can actually pay for the item today, so it is the price the index follows.
Is the index a market cap or a forecast?
No. It has no sales volume in it, so it is not a market capitalisation, and it says nothing about where prices go next. It shows how the prices of heavily listed skins moved.
