Stalker 2 Sales Pass Major Milestone as Dev Issues Statement on Bugs
Despite the odds, released its highly anticipated post-apocalyptic shooter last week. Its launch may have been plagued with bugs, but that did not stop fans from grabbing the game as it passes a major sales milestone just a week after its release.
From the official Stalker X (formerly Twitter) account, GSC Game world announced Stalker 2 sales reached 1 million copies sold. This number seems to not include Game Pass users as stated in the post.
“No wonder it feels a bit crowdy in the Zone,” says the post. “A million copies were sold, and much more stalkers joined the artifact hunt with Game Pass.”
“This is just the start of our unforgettable adventure,” continues the post. “The Heart of Chornobyl emanates stronger with each of us.”
