Microsoft, and the Xbox Game Pass team, has done its fair share of marketing when it comes to putting Stalker 2 in the public eye - but it doesn't seem to have had too much of an effect on traditional game sales, even this close to release.

Just two days after it hit physical and digital store shelves on Nov. 20, developer GSC Game World has announced that Stalker 2 has already sold one million copies. That's a lot of stalkers out there for only two days on the market.

Now, considering the impressive numbers we've been seeing from this game on PC, we'd expect lots of those one million sales to be coming from Steam and the likes. Still, Xbox will have contributed, and the team says it's seeing "much more stalkers joining the artifact hunt with Game Pass" too - hinting that plenty of folks are also accessing the game via Microsoft's subscription service.

Despite a wide range of launch-day issues, GSC Game World has committed to polishing up this experience for the more than one million fans that have entered the Zone, so you can expect to see plenty of patches and updates for Stalker 2 in the coming months.
