Three months have passed since the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - the most ambitious, large-scale and expected game from Ukrainian developers.

The shooter immediately became successful, paid off in the first days of sales and now GSC Game World studio has boasted another indicator of success.

Here's What We Know

The authors of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl reported that more than 6 million gamers have already got acquainted with the game. It should be noted that this figure does not reflect the number of sold copies, because the shooter is available in Xbox Game Pass from the first day, but this is a great result.

The zone has never been so noisy! Stalkers sing songs and play the guitar on their breaks. Laughter can be heard everywhere from Zalissya to Wild Island and beyond! At one point, even Quiet's Camp became a ballad.

Today we honour the six million stalkers who have played S.T.A.L.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Six million! A scale that is hard to comprehend, but it is real because of you. We are incredibly grateful and proud that each of you left your unique mark in the Zone.

Happy hunting, stalkers!

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store) and Xbox Series.
