After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the GSC Game World office moved to Prague, Czech Republic. The developers continued working on S.T.A.A.L.K.E.R. 2 in a safe environment in the hope that the creation of the shooter would soon be completed.

According to preliminary estimates, the damage amounted to 1.5 million Czech crowns ($66 000), but it is still unclear what damage was done to the studio's data, which were stored on these servers.
