After first being announced in 2010, STALKER 2 is now out for the Xbox Series and PC. And despite the reception being more positive than negative, there are still technical issues with STALKER 2 that have caused problems for players.

In a statement on social media, the game’s developers at GSC Game World expressed their joy that the game is finally available to players. That said, they did acknowledge that the game has some “rough edges” that will be worked on as they monitor player feedback.

“We understand that a game like this can still have some rough edges – we’ve literally never released anything of this magnitude before,” they said. “We are absolutely committed to being here, monitoring your feedback and quickly resolving any issues that need our attention.”

They went on to say that they will be working on several hotfixes for the game in the coming days and will release them “as accurately as possible” while still releasing them as often as possible. After these are out, the focus will shift to bigger updates for the game.

“There will also be free in-game content – ​​we will share the roadmap later in December,” they said. “We have big plans for the STALKER universe. In a sense, today is both a return and the beginning of a great new journey.”

Insider Gaming’s Grant Taylor-Hill reviewed the game and says that despite any early technical issues, STALKER 2 is “the cream of the crop, and it’s a bar that every developer in the genre should aim for.”
