14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.

Покупал длс на сталкера, не понял токо как в бекрумсе оказался

Cost of Hope is a genuinely terrible waste of video gaming potential and does not deserve to be purchased. Stalker 2 is very focused on Skif's narrative and journey and as such, there is literally no reason for him to go on this adventure from the outset. Especially since his concern is getting payment for the house he lost. It's never mentioned and neither Duty/Freedom can provide anything to him to further his reason for being in the zone. That aside, the "conflict" between Duty/Freedom is barely lip service. It's a farse. It has to be relying purely on people's member-berries because what else is there? Mavka and Zulu are so boringly cliche and one note, as much as a few dialogue lines might try to suggest otherwise. Listening to Zulu's wretched English VA was physically painful. As for gameplay, it's more of the same. The DLC provides ONE semi unique mid-boss via the Shadow Chimera at the end of it's clear high point, the Anomalous Apartments. They're intricate and trippy and the devs clearly put all the time and effort into them. And then did nothing else of value. The final "boss" was a joke and a genuinely unfun experience. Plus utterly worthless as a mechanical test of skill. The real challenge is staying awake at your keyboard. Cost of Hope is awful, it deserves to go down in history as how to not do DLC for a game. I hated it and the real fecal icing on the fecal cake for me was that I got a bug around halfway that turned the game into a permanent super nighttime. Using no mods but the skybox just turned off at some point. The game reacted like it was nighttime but there was no skybox. No matter the ingame time, there was nothing. So I just played the game using nightvision. WHICH WAS ALWAYS GREAT WHEN THE GAME MANDATED TURNING OFF MY NIGHTVISION AND FLASHLIGHT FOR SCRIPTED SEQUENCES AND I WAS LEFT WITH A BLACK SCREEN AND GRUNTING.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 6: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Honestamente el juego principal me dejó con dudas y cierta sensación de decepción. Pero este DLC ha hecho que el juego en conjunto me haya dejado un buen sabor de boca al final. La ambientación del reactor se siente muy bien aunque quizá está un poco más vacía de lo que esperaba, problema que hereda del juego base. Tiene algún momento de caminar de punto A a punto B pero en general la historia es muy buena. Ambas rutas tienen sus cosas positivas, una te da una historia más heroica y un final que personalmente considero satisfactorio y la otra ruta te deja uno de esos finales en los que acabas pensando durante un buen rato si hiciste lo correcto y las consecuencias que puede tener para el mundo, lo que personalmente lo convierte en otro gran final si te logra transmitir eso. Como detalle el DLC recupera en cierto punto final cierta mecánica olvidada de la trilogía original, no diré más.
After the 2.0 update and the Cost of Hope expansion, the game feels completely different. GSC fixed the main issues, and now it runs smoothly without any annoying stutters or lag. The first thing you notice is the graphics—the colors became way more vibrant and natural, and the lightning is just gorgeous. The Zone finally feels alive: stalkers wander around, fight mutants, and live their own lives, so you never feel alone in the wasteland. The new story is a banger. It focuses on the conflict between Duty and Freedom, and your choices actually matter. But the best part is the new locations, especially the Iron Forest and the CNPP. They are super atmospheric, spooky, and packed with hidden secrets. It gives you those classic, nostalgic stalker vibes. If you were waiting for the game to be fixed—this is your sign to jump back in. It’s absolutely worth it!
Мені подобається оригінальна гра. Це хороша історія, яка дуже тонким шаром розтягнута по величезній карті, і хоч досліджувати карту мені було цікаво, в кінці кінців від проходження в мене залишились досить змішані враження. Я не шкодую про покупку і точно ще не раз повернусь пограти, але бажання ставити позитивний відгук в мене не виникло, але і негативний я не мав причин залишати. "Ціна надії" залишила набагато кращі враження після проходження і, на мій смак, наразі це найкращий шматок гри. Якщо основну гру я закривав у 2 заходи і я її скоріше вже домучував, щоб допройти вже і закрити цей гештальт (я грав у версію до 2.0), то Ціну надії я пройшов з кайфом і після проходження хотілось з кимось обкашляти все, що показали в DLC. Це хороший якісний стрибок вгору. Це буде дуже гучне і грубе порівняння, але різниця десь така, як між основною грою Cyberpunk 2077 і її доповненням Phantom Liberty. Як у випадку з Кіберпанком, так і у випадку зі Сталкером, доповнення дає більш сконцентрований на сюжеті ігровий досвід без необхідності тинятись великою ігровою картою. P.S. Для контексту. Стартанув зі старого сейву основної гри перед точкою неповернення. Проходив сюжетну лінію за "[spoiler]Волю[/spoiler]". Получився досить гарний емоційний фінал, який мені подобається більше за "[spoiler]Долгівський[/spoiler]". Рекомендую, навіть якщо враження від основної частини гри не надто високі.
The quality of this game, not to mention the amount of content compared to other games for your £25 is simply outstanding. We are very lucky to have GSC Game World.
Great story and atmosphere. What could be a great game if it were not still held back by technical issues and bugs (old and new). That this game is aging and still is not what most reasonable players would consider finished is a bad look for the studio. Basic core features that made the original games so iconic are now painted on instead of integrated into the experience. The current A-life is a mask for the substandard AI instead of a real feature, where the original was groundbreaking. Too much talent has been lost to time and the war in Ukraine. A treat for Stalker fans but not worth the time or money if you're not invested enough in the lore to suffer through the experience. This expansion is truly the cost of hope. About 30 bucks to just find out this game is still broken in so many fundamental ways.
