GSC Game World Official Group

We do what we love, and what we love is gaming. Creating the Game Worlds we've envisioned for you to live the stories you want to tell!

Our journey began in 1995 in Kyiv. Six years later, the great battles were unfolding in our first worldwide-popular project, "Cossacks: European Wars". The game received positive reviews from the press, was nominated for "Best RTS of the Year" by the Computer Games Magazine, and sold 2.5 million copies. The historical strategy assembled a dedicated community, became a local cybersport discipline, and later on got two sequels and numerous add-ons.

A grand milestone of our story is the creation of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe, based on the real Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant Exclusion Zone. Sinister and desolate, full of mysteries and anomalies — that game world has attracted more than 2 million players in the first year of existence. Along with high ratings, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl won the Special Achievement award for Best Atmosphere at GameSpot's Best 2007. In a few years, the title gained two standalone add-ons, and the universe got a vast and passionate community. From day one of release until now, the loyal stalkers are showing their creativity to enrich the Zone with their stories, ideas, and art. Hundreds of fanfiction novels and dozens of films were published, a whole airsoft subculture called StalkerStrike has emerged, and cosplayers in stalker suits are still seen at many events. Year by year, modifications of the original trilogy fascinate us with the devotion of their creators and the popularity that they gain. By 2022, more than 16 million stalkers got their official passes to the Zone.

Since 2004, GSC Game World has also been a worldwide self-publisher, with 15 projects in our portfolio.:

* Codename: Outbreak;
* Hover Ace: Combat Racing Zone;
* FireStarter;
* Alexander;
* Heroes of Annihilated Empires;
* Cossacks series;
* American Conquest series;
* S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.

Fans called, and we answered. Our studio's new and most ambitious chapter has begun: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — the sequel of the original trilogy. Today, the GSC Game World team unites hundreds of dedicated artists and techies from all over Ukraine and neighboring countries. Many of them started their gaming journey with game worlds of our studio decades ago. At the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the second development studio of our company in Prague was created.

Development of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is ongoing in exclusive partnership with Microsoft, and will be released in 2024 on PC, Xbox X/S, and Game Pass on Day One.
