STALKER 2 Sealed Truth Update Adds New Free Content via Patch 1.010
GSC Game World has a special treat for STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl players today, as the studio has rolled out the “Sealed Truth” free content drop across all platforms.
Starting today, April 14, players can download STALKER 2 update 1.010 (complete version 1.010.000), to experience a new — and free — questline that players can explore in the legendary X-18 Lab.
Read on for the official details, as well as some of the fixes included in today’s patch.
STALKER 2 Free Content Drop Brings Sealed Truth Quest for Free on April 14
What’s new
- Explore a new questline that starts when you talk to Diode.
- Fixed an issue causing overpopulation of strong mutant types in long campaigns.
- Fixed an issue where the mission ‘Dark as a Dungeon’ would immediately cancel if the player had already reached the point of no return.
- Added new loading screens.
For those on PC, remember that each game update has the chance to make the game less stable, and as such, GSC Game World has mentioned, “The Zone is ever-changing, and a new update can shift Her structure. If you’ve chosen to walk the path with modifications, know this: they may not withstand the latest shifts. If you have performance or stability issues following the release of Sealed Truth, we recommend you to disable your mods. If you continue to experience issues, please visit https://support.stalker2.com/hc for additional troubleshooting steps and assistance.”
Given the content drop, do not be surprised if a hotfix or two is released to fix any issues that surface from the Sealed Truth patch.
Another game in the same vein as STALKER 2 is set to be revealed this week, and we’re referring to the new Metro game, Metro 2039, which is due for a global reveal on April 16.
Let’s hope more content is planned, and that we’ll get a 2026 roadmap at some point soon.
