On the second day after the long-awaited release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, 1 million copies of the game were sold. This was reported by the Ukrainian development studio GSC Game World.
"It is not surprising that the Zone has been so crowded lately. One million copies sold, and a lot of stalkers went hunting for artifacts through Game Pass," writes GSC.
AIN remind our readers that the release of the second installement of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. took place on November 20. Game critics rated the game quite well despite some bugs, and users traditionally made a bunch of memes.
The game became one of the most anticipated games of the year, taking first place in sales on Steam among paid games and second place in the general list. Fans quickly bought up the physical edition, which is why they had to make an additional print run - buyers will receive it only in April.
Funnily, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was released at 18:00, and at that time the Internet traffic in Ukraine began to rise - and by a very large jump.
