The 2025 content roadmap shared by GSC Game World brings thrilling news for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Released in November for PC and Xbox Series, the game is set to receive significant updates, including modding tools and Steam Workshop support, enriching the player’s experience profoundly.

Players can look forward to new weapons, adjustments to creature looting, expanded player storage, and widescreen support. Efforts are underway to address bugs, known as anomalies, and enhance overall game stability. Testing will occur in two phases, beginning within the studio and followed by a closed beta for players. Feedback will be integral to these improvements.
Moreover, next-gen updates have been confirmed for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, Clear Sky, and Shadow of Chernobyl, promising to breathe new life into these classic titles.
