The ongoing war in the region has already forced GSC to postpone Stalker 2 to 2023 after initially promising to release the game later this year. However, some believed that Stalker 2 would not be coming out in 2023 at all after Microsoft was spotted refunding pre-orders. The Polish site, XGP, reports that Microsoft has told customers that the game is postponed to an “unconfirmed date in the future.” In the meantime, the Xbox Store has stopped taking pre-orders for Stalker 2. With GSC Game World in the middle of relocating to Prague, fans are concerned that the post-apocalyptic survival horror game won’t hit store shelves until 2024 or later. Thankfully, GSC has released a statement to clear the confusion. Here’s what a GSC spokesperson wrote to PCGamer: If it’s any consolation, other digital games distribution platforms are still taking pre-orders. According to Steam, Stalker 2 will come out on December 2023. The Epic Store is outdated with its claims, as it still lists that the game will come out in December this year.
