S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 launches strong: Developer Says Bug Fixes Will be Made Soon

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 launches strong

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Steam release has seen a big launch, becoming one of the most-played games on Valve’s platform on its launch day.

Ukrainian developer GSC Game World’s post-apocalyptic horror shooter has reached a total of 113,587 concurrent players on Steam, enough to put S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 in the top 10 most-played games on the platform. This number also eclipses the Steam concurrent player count records of all other S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, including 2007’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has also been released for Xbox Series consoles and added directly to the Game Pass library, meaning the total concurrent player count will be much higher than what we’ve seen on Steam. The industry expects these numbers to continue to rise.

On the other hand, GSC Game World announced in a statement to its fans that it will fix the bugs with a series of patches. The developer said, "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is a huge game." "We understand that there are some bugs left in the corner of a game like this. We have never released anything of this scale before. We are dedicated to being here, reviewing your feedback and fixing the problems quickly.

"We will be working on hotfixes in the early days of the game and releasing them as sensitively as possible, but as often as possible. Then we will move on to bigger updates with continuous improvements."

The developer is also working on free content. This will become a little clearer when GSC Game World shares its roadmap next month. For now, the company says, "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. "We have big plans for the universe," he says. "In a way, today represents both a return and the beginning of a new adventure."

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has been the victim of many delays, as you know. The post-apocalyptic game, which was announced to be released in September, was last delayed in July. GSC Game World stated at the time that the extra two months would allow it to fix "unexpected anomalies" or bugs.
