"We are working on this issue already." STALKER 2 has a huge, game-breaking problem on Xbox, and GSC Game World confirms that it's working on a fix

STALKER 2.

What you need to know

  • STALKER 2 is an immersive shooter set in a sci-fi infused alternative timeline.
  • The Chornobyl nuclear disaster and "The Zone" around the plant has become an anomalously charged region of nuclear phenomena and mutants, and you're stick in the middle of it.
  • The game launched on November 20 on Xbox and PC, as well as Game Pass. While the story delivery and atmosphere are next-level, the game is in a bit of a rough state with bugs and optimization issues.
  • One of the biggest issues is STALKER 2's gamepad controls. The deadzones are set to zero, which leaves absolutely no room for stick drift on analog sticks.
  • GSC Game World confirmed that a fix for this is incoming.
