About the company

Founded in 1995, GSC Game World has grown into one of Ukraine’s most iconic game development studios and a respected name in the global gaming industry.

From the very beginning, our goal has never been just to make games – it has always been about creating worlds players can truly live through, feel, and remember.

From the vast battlefields of Cossacks to the haunting and unforgiving world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., every project we create carries its own soul – shaped by history, atmosphere, struggle, and the stories of people within it.

Over the years, GSC Game World has become known for experiences that stay with players long after the screen goes dark – stories of survival, sacrifice, discovery, and hope in the face of the unknown.
