The cost of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 in Steam will increase by 80%

Information about this was revealed on the official Discord server of GSC Game World. The decision to adjust the regional prices for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was made after the opening of pre-orders in the Microsoft Store.

There, the game's price was found to be nearly double that in Steam. A company representative with the pseudonym Mol1t explained that the prices on Steam will be updated within a few days to align with those in the Microsoft Store.

According to the manager, the price increase is due to the current market conditions.

“S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has long been offered at one of the lowest prices for a AAA game. We aimed to ensure a fair price reflecting the adjusted values,” noted Mol1t.

The new prices for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 on Steam will be: ₴1597.50 for the standard edition, ₴2147 for the Deluxe edition, and ₴2890 for the Ultimate edition. These amounts correspond to the prices in the Microsoft Store.

For comparison, the current prices on Steam are ₴895, ₴1199, and ₴1599 for each of the three editions, respectively. Thus, the price of the standard edition will rise by almost 80%.
