STALKER 2 Update 1.019

GSC Game World has released another hotfix for STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and this time, it’s for all platforms. Given this is a hotfix, don’t expect much from it outside of a few fixes.

Console gamers will see this download as STALKER 2 update 1.019, and this should be a small file to install.

Read on for the complete info on today’s patch, and even the last few hotfixes released.
