GSC Game World har hen over weekenden på Steam meddelt, at teamet arbejder på en række issues, som vil blive fixet i den første patch, der kommer i løbet af denne uge.
Spillet har været plaget af forskellige tekniske problemer, men alligevel rundede spillet 1 million solgte eksemplarer under 2 dage efter udgivelsen (dertil kommer alle spillerne på Game Pass).
The game has been out for several days now (it's still surreal to say that), and we've been following your feedback in all possible forms carefully. To the more than one million stalkers in the Zone, thanks for playing — that means the world to us. We are sure you have things to handle in the Zone, but so do we.
