Stalker 2 Gets Major Overhaul, Surpasses One Million Sales
The post-apocalyptic world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl just got a whole lot smoother. After addressing performance concerns at launch, developer GSC Game World has released two sizable patches aimed at squashing bugs and refining gameplay.
Patch 1.0.1, the first major update, tackled a plethora of issues, encompassing everything from artificial intelligence behavior and game optimization to balancing, sound design, and even film sequences.
Following close behind, Patch 1.0.2 tackled remaining bug reports, particularly focusing on glitches affecting specific quests.
These updates come as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 continues to garner impressive acclaim, selling over one million copies since its debut.
"[Chornobyl is] a very impressive location – both visually and in size. There’s so much to explore and discover. The balance between scavenging for loot and making sure you have enough firepower to get back to safety without getting killed is always present. That balance, and the harsh consequences for being greedy, are something I really enjoyed," wrote IGN’s reviewer in their glowing critique.
While the game’s success demonstrates the enduring appeal of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise, GSC Game World clearly isn’t resting on its laurels. The studio has committed to ongoing support for the game, assuring players that further updates and refinements are in the pipeline.
