- Stalker 2 has managed to break into Steam’s top 10 best-selling games.
- It is showing solid results on Steam despite releasing day 1 on Game Pass.
- Data revealed that Stalker 2 is one of the most anticipated games for late 2024.
Stalker 2 has had one of the toughest development cycles for any game. With the ongoing circumstances in Ukraine, it has faced all sorts of issues. But it has finally gone gold and entered Steam’s top sellers despite a Game Pass release.
Why it matters: A previous poll showed that Stalker 2 is one of the most anticipated games for 2024. It also became the most wishlisted Steam game in April and is still in the top 5 spots.
Stalker 2 sits 6th on Steam’s top sellers (excluding Steam Deck). The position will undoubtedly improve even more as the launch draws nearer. Its latest previews were also remarkably positive, putting it in a solid position for Game of The Year accolade.
While the numbers already point towards a Steam hit, data shows it’s also much awaited for the Game Pass. GSC Game World would be proud of the direction the game is heading towards even 10 days before the launch.
Also, the game’s main story would be 40 hours long, with total completion taking 100 hours. There was a concern about the game’s performance on Xbox Series S, as it was said to run at 25FPS, but the developer has already addressed it.
Stalker 2, releasing on November 20, 2024, will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PC. There isn’t a word on the PlayStation port as of yet, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it’s planned for later as part of Microsoft’s multiplatform strategy.
