Despite the odds, GSC Game World released its highly anticipated post-apocalyptic shooter Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl last week. Its launch may have been plagued with bugs, but that did not stop fans from grabbing the game as it passes a major sales milestone just a week after its release.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl launched on November 20 after years of development, and it seems to be off to a solid start. Developer GSC Game World announced that the first-person survival game has cleared 1 million copies sold across PC and Xbox, but that doesn't tell the entire story of how many people have played it.

Microsoft added the remastered Spyro trilogy to Game Pass earlier in November, letting subscribers play as the iconic purple dragon. Now, Microsoft is taking subscribers back to the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in the sequel to the award-winning Stalker.
