Yes, Stalker 2 Mod.IO Integration is coming to Xbox the same day as PC

Among the major updates for A-Life, a notable addition in the latest game plan is the launch of the Mod Development Kit (SDK) for the game. This tool empowers players to design larger, more spectacular mods. Although we currently have outstanding mods such as Stalker Infinity, this will open up opportunities for modders to construct unique landscapes, innovative mechanics, and much more.

STALKER 2 „will become the game we imagined and you deserve.” GSC Game World revealed an ambitious plan to improve the shooter and the A-Life 2.0 system

The team behind S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has announced that they plan to frequently update the game this year, with improvements in all areas. Significant updates are intended to be rolled out every three months. Additionally, the developers aim to test new features twice – first internally and then as part of a closed beta testing phase – before releasing any given update.

The mutants in Stalker 2 will finally drop loot, making them less of a bullet sink

In the developer’s post on Steam, there’s a hint about the type of rewards mutants will drop – a tooth next to “mutant loot”. This suggests that these rewards might include useful body parts like gizzards and entrails. Right now, when you kill a mutant, they don’t yield anything, unlike defeated human enemies who can be looted for items such as bullets, food, and boots. This means that battling multiple mutants can quickly deplete your ammunition supply, especially the tougher ones. Not finding any reward after using up valuable ammo can be frustrating to some players.

The latest Stalker 2 roadmap includes modding improvements, more A-life updates, and letting mutants eat corpses

“The Zone is evolving and will continue to,” GSC Game World said in an accompanying news post on Steam. “Throughout the year, we will be delivering updates and hotfixes dedicated to making the game better in every aspect. With proper planning, double testing (internal and closed beta for big updates) of all features and fixes, and your feedback, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl will become the game we imagined—and you deserve.”
