GSC Game World’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has reached six million players less than four months after its release. The developer announced the milestone on Twitter, saying it’s “incredibly grateful” and “proud that each of you has left a unique mark in the Zone.”

The figure doesn’t indicate updated sales, and Game Pass players likely constitute a healthy chunk. Nevertheless, GSC Game World confirmed over one million sales for the survival sandbox shooter in less than three days. It also turned a profit in roughly a month.
