GSC Game World's STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl Achieves Phenomenal Sales and Announces First Patch
STALKER 2 has experienced a triumphant launch, selling an impressive 1 million copies within its first two days across Steam and Xbox consoles. The developers expressed their sincere gratitude to players for this incredible reception.
A Million Copies Sold in Two Days
Released on November 20th, 2024, STALKER 2 has captivated players with its immersive Chornobyl Exclusion Zone setting and challenging survival gameplay. The 1 million figure represents combined sales from Steam and Xbox Series X|S. This number doesn't include players accessing the game via Xbox Game Pass, suggesting the actual player count is even higher. GSC Game World acknowledged this milestone with a heartfelt thank you to the STALKER community, promising that this is only the beginning of their shared adventure.
Community Feedback and Bug Reporting
While celebrating the success, GSC Game World also actively solicited player feedback to address bugs and improve the game. They've created a dedicated Technical Support website for reporting issues, providing feedback, or suggesting new features. Players are encouraged to use this website instead of the Steam forums for faster response times and more effective bug tracking.
First Patch Incoming
Building on player feedback, the developers announced the first post-release patch, slated for release this week on both PC and Xbox. This patch will address various issues, including crashes, main quest progression problems, and weapon pricing imbalances. Further improvements to the analog stick and A-Life systems are planned for future updates. The developers reiterate their commitment to continuously enhancing the STALKER 2 experience based on player input.
