Microsoft and the Xbox Game Pass team have been energetically marketing Stalker 2, ensuring it stays in the public eye. Yet, despite these efforts, it’s unclear how much this push has influenced traditional game sales, even as the release approaches.
Remarkably, just two days after its release on November 20, GSC Game World proudly announced that Stalker 2 has already hit the one million sales mark. It’s quite an achievement for such a short time frame as eager players flock to the game.
No wonder the Zone feels a bit busier! A staggering million copies have been sold, and even more players have joined the artifact hunt via Game Pass. This marks just the beginning of our thrilling adventure. The Heart of Chornobyl grows more vibrant with each new player. We appreciate your excitement, fellow stalkers!
Considering the impressive stats from the PC crowd, it seems likely that a significant chunk of those sales are surfacing from platforms like Steam. Nonetheless, Xbox is not left out of the picture, and the influx of players through Game Pass suggests that Microsoft’s subscription service has also played a big role in the game’s reach.
Despite facing a series of launch-day hiccups, GSC Game World remains dedicated to refining the experience for over a million fans who have dived into the Zone. Expect a wave of patches and updates for Stalker 2 in the coming months, keeping the adventure fresh and engaging.
