GSC Game World, developers of STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, express deep gratitude for surpassing 1 million copies sold within just two days of its launch across Steam and Xbox consoles. They've also announced an upcoming patch to address player feedback and improve the overall gaming experience.
A Million Copies Sold – A Testament to Success
The Chornobyl Exclusion Zone is bustling with activity thanks to the game's impressive player count. The 1 million sales figure, encompassing both Steam and Xbox Series X|S, represents a remarkable achievement for the title, released on November 20th, 2024. This number doesn't even include players accessing the game through Xbox Game Pass, suggesting an even larger player base. The developers expressed their sincere appreciation, stating, "This is just the start of our unforgettable adventure...Thank You, stalkers!"
Community Feedback Crucial for Improvement
While celebrating the strong sales, GSC Game World acknowledges the presence of bugs and issues. They've actively encouraged players to report any problems encountered through a dedicated technical support website. This proactive approach aims to swiftly address player concerns and refine the game. Players are urged to use this website instead of the Steam forums for bug reporting to ensure efficient tracking and resolution.
First Patch Incoming
A first post-release patch is scheduled for release this week on both PC and Xbox. This update will target various issues, including crashes, main quest progression roadblocks, and gameplay balancing, including weapon pricing adjustments. The developers have confirmed that further improvements to the analog stick and A-Life systems are planned for future updates. They reiterate their commitment to enhancing the STALKER 2 experience based on player feedback.
