Stalker 2's arrival on Xbox Game Pass has been somewhat controversial due to various bugs and glitches present in the current experience - but one thing that's hard to deny is developer GSC Game World's dedication to the title. Creating this game in extremely trying circumstances must have been incredibly tough, but even so, the team has managed to cram in loads of cool easter eggs for its most dedicated fans to discover.
And discover them, they are doing. Browsing on social media this week, we've started to see a bunch of very cool Stalker 2 easter eggs crop up - from references to older games in the series, to a Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare easter egg - and even a Harry Potter one!

These little nods are awesome to see, and we can't wait to come across what else folks find!
We're also looking forward to the team's first big patch, to fix some of those aforementioned bugs, which is due sometime this week. The Ukrainian studio is targeting seven key areas in its first Stalker 2 update, which we've detailed down below.
