Ukrainian studio GSC Game World is celebrating its 30th anniversary. To mark the anniversary, the developers have released a video with references to their projects and launched a holiday sale with a 30% discount on STALKER 2.
«STALKER, Cossacks, Hoverace, Heroes of Annihilated Empires, and our other game universes are places where anyone can become a hero, where magic joins reality, and radioactive fog gives rise to legends. We create worlds. You are the ones who fill them with life», GSC said on its website.
The studio also released a video in the STALKER 2 setting, which shows a room with many monitors depicting footage from all previous GSC Game World games.
The company was founded in 1995 by Sergiy Grigorovich, who became its director. He came up with the company name and logo back in 1990, while studying at school, at the age of 12. It contains the abbreviation of the founder’s surname and initials — GSC (Grigorovich Sergiy Constantinovich).
GSC Game World released its first game, Cossacks: European Wars, in 2001. The strategy game became a hit and launched a whole series of games. GSC’s greatest recognition came with STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, released in 2007. In 2011, the studio encountered difficulties in developing STALKER 2 and temporarily suspended operations, but was revived in 2014 under the leadership of Sergey Grigorovich’s brother, Yevgeny.
In November 2024, the long-awaited STALKER 2 was released for PC and Xbox, selling 1 million copies within 36 hours of its release. A year later, the game arrived on the PlayStation 5 console.
«Over these 30 years, we have done much more than just release a series of games. We are lucky to have a community of people who don’t just play — they immerse themselves in the game, they live every second of it. That’s why there was never an „us“ and a „you“. There was only us, together. And there is still much ahead: new worlds, new challenges and new emotions. We will not stop», assured GSC Game World.
The studio dedicated its 30th anniversary to a sale on Steam with discounts of up to 75% on its games.
