GSC Game World, the developers of STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, express deep gratitude for the game's phenomenal launch, exceeding 1 million copies sold within its first two days across Steam and Xbox platforms. This impressive sales figure underscores the game's immediate popularity and strong reception from players.
A Million Copies Sold – And Counting!
Released on November 20th, 2024, STALKER 2 has transported players into the dangerous and captivating Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. The 1 million sales milestone encompasses both Steam and Xbox Series X|S sales, and the actual player count is likely even higher, considering the game's availability on Xbox Game Pass. The developers acknowledge this incredible achievement with heartfelt thanks to the STALKER community.
Community Feedback Crucial for Improvement
While celebrating the success, GSC Game World actively solicits player feedback to address bugs and improve the overall gaming experience. They've established a dedicated technical support website for reporting issues, providing feedback, and suggesting new features. Players are encouraged to utilize this platform rather than the Steam forums for quicker response and resolution.
First Patch on the Horizon
A first post-release patch is scheduled for release this week on both PC and Xbox platforms. This update will tackle reported issues such as game crashes, main quest progression problems, and various gameplay glitches. Balance adjustments, including weapon pricing, are also included. Further improvements to the analog stick controls and A-Life systems are planned for future updates. The developers reiterate their commitment to continuous improvement based on player feedback.
