Game fully releases on the 9th. Reviews come out on the 5th. But a day before the early access launch for those who forked over the extra money. 

I hate this early access nonsense. Mark my words, GTA 6 will have early acces for $100 and millions will buy it

GTA 6 could have its standard price at $100 and millions would absolutely still buy it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it passes a billion dollars in its first day of release.

Stalker 2 at 82% on Steam with 52,309 reviews already, I don't follow Steam reviews too closely but that feels like an impressive amount so soon after launch? Wonder if it's creeping close to 2m sold already, I want to know the total player-count as well.

At least 2 physical copy on Xbox too, one for me and for my brother 😜

Bought it day one too, the most expensive version, but I'm probably going to wait for a few major patches before playing it, my current plan is something like Indiana Jones - Dragon Age - Stalker 2 so I'll probably get round to Stalker 2 around late December - Early January.

Nobody took me up on my Stalker 2 gift offer, probably because it has to be UK only 😂

If people are dropping £100 on the ultimate editions then they very likely don’t care for reviews of that game period.
