Those exploring the dangers, wonders, and mysteries of The Zone will be happy to hear that STALKER 2 — GSC Game World's popular open-world survival shooter on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC — has been updated with Patch 1.1.4. The new update is the studio's first of 2025, and includes several different fixes for major issues that were still impacting the game.
By far, the most critical fix included in the patch is a solution for a bug that was causing save files to disappear on the Xbox version of the game, leading to many players losing several hours of progress. Stalkers have been consistently reporting occurrences of this glitch for many weeks now, so it's great to finally see it addressed properly. Once you download the update, you shouldn't have to worry about this issue anymore if you're using one of Microsoft's consoles to play.
