Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl has been released with several issues, prompting anticipation for a patch. The developers, GSC Game World, have acknowledged these problems and shared patch notes, but have not specified a release date. The patch is expected soon, possibly by November 29, and will address crash fixes, main quest progression issues, gameplay adjustments, and more. However, fixes for the A-Life system, a major concern for players, are not included in this update.
STALKER 2, launched on November 20, 2024, is facing criticism for bugs and balance issues despite its immersive gameplay and impressive sales. Developers GSC Game World are addressing these problems with an upcoming patch that will fix crashes, quest progression issues, and visual inconsistencies, though a fix for the Xbox deadzone issue will come later. The game, set in a post-Chornobyl world, has already sold over a million copies and continues to engage players despite its rough edges.
Ubisoft has hinted at a PS5 patch for Far Cry 5, which is expected to optimise the game for next-gen consoles and allow it to run at 60 frames-per-second. The update is now available to download ahead of a free weekend for the game. Far Cry 5 has been part of PS Plus Extra since late last year, so players won't need to purchase a copy to take advantage of the patch.
