GSC Game World's most successful game series is S.T.A.L.K.E.R., a survival shooter that was in development for seven years, first released in March 2007. They are also known for the Cossacks series. Most of their titles are published in Europe by Cdv Software Entertainment.
GSC Game World is also the creator of the X-Ray Engine used in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.
Following initial reports in 2011 stating that their upcoming project, STALKER 2, had been cancelled, GSC tweeted a complete denial of the cancellation as well as denying rumors that the studio had closed its doors. However, they then deleted the tweet and later said an official comment would be made on 12 December 2011.[1][2] They stated, "We will do our best to continue. However, at this moment, nothing is certain."[3] On 23 December 2011 it was revealed that they are continuing to develop S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.[4]

In November 2007 GSC acquired Xbox 360 developer rights. They now have permission to make games for the Xbox 360. In September 2009 GSC announced that it will port S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to consoles (360 and PS3), however, due to a lack of manpower, they will be forced to begin with the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.[5]
