STALKER 2 Sells 1 Million Copies, Devs Express Gratitude

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 an impressive 1 million copies within its first two days of release across Steam and Xbox consoles. The developers have expressed their sincere gratitude to players for this overwhelming support. This initial success is further bolstered by the significant number of players accessing the game through Xbox Game Pass, though precise figures remain undisclosed. The developers stated, "This is just the start of our unforgettable adventure...With gratitude as deep as the X-labs network, we want to say: Thank You, stalkers!"

Addressing Player Feedback and Bug Reports

Despite the game's strong sales, GSC Game World acknowledges the presence of bugs and other issues. To facilitate improvements, they've urged players to report any problems encountered through a dedicated technical support website. This centralized system allows for efficient bug tracking and feedback collection, improving the chances of timely resolution. The developers specifically requested that bug reports be submitted via this website rather than the Steam forums to ensure prompt attention.

First Patch Incoming This Week

Following a period of gathering player feedback, GSC Game World announced the imminent release of the first post-launch patch for STALKER 2 on both PC and Xbox. This patch will address critical issues including game crashes, main quest progression roadblocks, and various other gameplay problems. Balance adjustments, particularly to weapon pricing, are also included. While the initial patch tackles immediate concerns, the developers have confirmed that future updates will address the analog stick and A-Life systems.

The developers concluded their announcement with a reiteration of their commitment to continuous improvement and expressed their deep appreciation for the community's valuable feedback and suggestions. The strong sales figures and proactive approach to addressing player concerns suggest a positive outlook for the future of STALKER 2.
