GSC Game World's STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl Achieves Phenomenal Sales and Announces First Patch
STALKER 2 has experienced a remarkably successful launch, selling over 1 million copies within its first two days across Steam and Xbox consoles. The developers have expressed their sincere gratitude to players for this incredible achievement.
A Million Copies Sold – And Counting!
Released on November 20th, 2024, STALKER 2 has captivated gamers with its immersive Chornobyl Exclusion Zone setting and challenging survival gameplay. The impressive 1 million sales figure encompasses both Steam and Xbox Series X|S platforms. The actual player count is likely even higher, considering the game's availability on Xbox Game Pass. GSC Game World acknowledged this milestone with a heartfelt thank you to the STALKER community.
Community Feedback Crucial for Improvement
While the initial sales are overwhelmingly positive, GSC Game World recognizes the importance of addressing bugs and player feedback. They've established a dedicated Technical Support website to facilitate bug reporting and suggestions. Players are encouraged to utilize this platform for reporting issues, providing feedback, and suggesting new features, rather than posting on the Steam forums.
First Patch Arrives This Week
Following the influx of player feedback, GSC Game World announced the upcoming release of the first post-launch patch for both PC and Xbox platforms. This patch will address critical issues such as crashes, quest progression blockers, and will include gameplay improvements and balance adjustments, including weapon price corrections. Further improvements to the analog stick and A-Life systems are planned for future updates. The developers reiterated their commitment to continuously improving the STALKER 2 experience based on player feedback.
