The development company STALKER and “Cossacks” was declared “undesirable”: what will happen to games in Russia now
In November 2025, Russian authorities declared the Ukrainian company GSC Game World - the developer of the STALKER and Cossacks trilogies - "undesirable" . Although the games themselves are not formally prohibited, the danger of the status is that it imposes restrictions not only on the organizations themselves, recognized as “undesirable,” but also on those who interact with them.
