STALKER 2’s Next Update Will Target Crashes, Quest Issues, and UI Bugs

As a long-time fan of the STALKER series, I’ve been through the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone virtually and now, finally, in this stunning sequel. I’ve seen the highs and lows, the beauty and the brutality, and I can confidently say that STALKER 2 is a masterpiece worth exploring.


In just three days since its release, STALKER 2 has sparked intense discussions among gamers: some are criticizing it while others are commending it. This game certainly has people divided, but after thorough review, I’d give it a score of 9/10 and encourage everyone to explore this post-apocalyptic adventure at least for a while.

GSC Game World is diligently fixing issues within the game, resolving glitches that led certain players to post unfavorable feedback or request refunds for a title that required over a decade’s worth of development efforts.

The next update is said to be a doozy.

Changes Incoming

On Steam, GSC Game World recently announced that the upcoming STALKER 2 update will be quite substantial. This update aims to address several persistent problems that players have encountered since the game launched for both Xbox and PC on November 20.

This includes:

  • Issue and memory allocation failures (PC)
  • Main quest progression fixes (game-breaking bugs)
  • Gameplay balancing and adjustments (trader prices and NPC behaviour)
  • Cutscene fixes (facial animations and clipping)
  • ‘Softlock’ fixes (menu freezing)
  • UI improvements (quest notifications, interaction prompts)

In an upcoming release, our developers plan to address and resolve persistent issues within the ‘A-Life’ system, which controls the game’s AI-controlled characters (NPCs). Regrettably, the smart, lifelike AI that was initially promised has yet to fully materialize since the game’s launch.

GSC will also work to address controller-based issues, such as dead zone bug fixes.

In a statement, the team said:

Let me rephrase it for a more conversational tone: Rest assured, we’re committed to enhancing your S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl journey. Your feedback and ideas for improvement are invaluable to us, and we appreciate every bit of it!
