In what I have convinced myself is the studio's Christmas gift to me specifically, GSC Game World has announced that it's updating Stalker. No not Stalker 2, the old Stalkers: Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat.
In an encyclical on X, "The Everything App," GSC announced that the classic Stalker games would all be getting a whizzy "next-gen patch" on consoles in 2025. Clean-living PC gamers like you and I don't care about that, of course, but we do care about what it said next: "We know you've asked us to update the PC versions of the original Stalker games, and we also plan to do that."
