  • While it missed out on the Game Awards 2024, the game has earned recognition at the Steam Awards 2024 with nominations in 3 categories.

2024 has been a remarkable year for the gaming industry, with Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl by GSC Game World standing out as one of its highlights. Following years of anticipation, the game finally debuted and delivered on its promises, with a few technical setbacks.

Why it matters: GSC Game World has evidently poured a lot of effort into Stalker 2. Although missing the Game Awards was surely disappointing, these Steam Awards nominations undoubtedly validate the dedication and passion behind the title.
