As Stalker 2 bug reports roll in, dev warns “there may still be rough edges” because “we literally haven’t released anything of this scale before”

Stalker 2 is finally here, and in the early hours the launch is drawing a mixed response – thanks largely to the FPS game’s numerous bugs and technical issues. In our Stalker 2 review Andu called it “the best but most broken game I’ve played all year,” and alongside the launch developer GSC Game World itself is warning players that they should expect some “rough edges.”

“S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is a massive game,” the devs say in a message on Twitter. “We understand that in such a game, there may still be rough edges: we literally haven’t released anything of this scale before. We’re absolutely committed to being here, monitoring your feedback, and quickly fixing any issues that need our attention. In the first days after release, we’ll be working with hotfixes, rolling them out as precisely as possible, but as frequently as we can. Then, we’ll switch to larger updates that include constant improvements. There will also be free in-game content – we’ll share its roadmap later in December.”
