Despite numerous postponements, STALKER 2 is experiencing an apocalyptic launch riddled with bugs. His studio quickly reacted to try to reassure players.
Despite the best will in the world on the part of the Ukrainian studio, STALKER 2 is unfortunately experiencing a very complicated launch. The first feedback from the press and players shows a slew of bugs and significant performance problems. A feeling that we share in our opinion before the final test, although in a more bearable way thanks to a particularly well-equipped PC. In any case, GSC Game World is well aware of the situation and intends to quickly repair what can be repaired in the Zone.
STALKER 2 definitely irradiated by its great ambitions
STALKER 2 definitely had a complicated development. Announced for the first time fourteen years ago, a studio closure then reopening and a terrible war between Ukraine and Russia and many postponements later, it was finally released not without difficulty yesterday on PC, Xbox Series and the Game Pass. Many opinions from both the press and players speak of a title offering excellent immersion, beautiful visuals, but in a disastrous state to say the least.
Bugs of all kinds, performance and instability problems, STALKER 2 unfortunately seems, like a certain Cyberpunk 2077 in its time, to have been crushed by its complicated gestation and the weight of its enormous ambitions. With a truly immense playing field of 64 km², its open world unfortunately does not lack anomalies making the experience unplayable for some. Its studio GSC Game World is naturally aware of the situation and sent a reassuring message on the franchise's official X.com account.
« It seems unreal that STALKER 2 is finally out, against all odds. This is a very important, exciting and memorable moment for us. This is a project made with a lot of love and passion, we are incredibly proud of it. However, it's a massive game, immeasurable in scale, but still sadly lacking in polish. We are committed to collecting your feedback and quickly correcting any issues that require our attention. This will take the form of hotfixes as frequent as possible, then more substantial updates to make the necessary improvements, and finally free content. We will share a roadmap along these lines in December. It is both a return and the start of a new journey, and we are extremely lucky to have someone to accompany us there. The STALKER 2 Zone is yours. Have fun GOOD ».
