As Stalker 2 developer GSC game World marks the close of 2024 with patch 1.1, the studio confirmed that it is also working on a next-gen patch for the console version of Stalker: Legends of the Zone Trilogy.
Although they could only commit to a fairly broad “next year,” the team said, “we know you’ve asked us to update the PC versions of the original Stalker games, and we plan to do that too.”
“Stay tuned to our social media so you don’t miss the exact dates,” the studio teased.
In a year-end message, GSC said: “A major patch 1.1 was released yesterday for Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. All the time between the release and the Christmas holidays we have dedicated to improving your experience with our game. We look forward to that many of you will find time to start, continue or finish Stalker 2 during the holidays.

GSC said it will continue to update Stalker 2 over the next year and will “be ready to share the content roadmap for the game in early 2025.”
“The next-gen patch for the console versions of Stalker: Legends of the Zone Trilogy will be released next year,” GSC added. “We know you’ve asked us to update the PC versions of the original Stalker games, and we plan to do that too.
“The amount of support you have shown us since the game‘s launch still amazes us. Your support is truly a Zone miracle. See you next year!”
Upon its release in November, Stalker 2 was criticized for its performance issues. However, in an interview with Eurogamer, GSC game World CEO Ievgen Grygorovych said delaying the game was not an option.
“You are so tired that you would die if you said let’s run an extra marathon,” Grygorovych said at the time. “We didn’t have the opportunity to say ‘let’s do it more’. We just had the opportunity to ‘let’s do up to this point – the release date – as much as we can.'”
Earlier this week, GSC game World released the first major patch for Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which fixed over 1,800 issues.
