Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl released yesterday, and has since seen a strong number of players jumping into The Zone over on Steam.
At the time of writing, its all-time player peak on Valve’s platform is 113,587. Meanwhile, it has 71,497 players making their way through the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone at this very moment in time.
These numbers are perhaps not too surprising, given Stalker 2 was one of Steam’s most wishlisted titles up until its debut. However, even with a strong wishlist, reviews of the game have pointed out that it has been released with a number of glaring technical issues. These issues are one of the reasons Eurogamer’s own Stalker 2 review isn’t on the site just yet.

Yesterday, the Stalker 2 team addressed these issues and acknowledged the game “may” have some “rough edges” now that it is out. The studio has assured its players it will address any niggles that arise in the game, as and when it is able.
