Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is reportedly being targeted by a Russian disinformation campaign falsely claiming the post-apocalyptic shooter scans players' computers in order to help the Ukranian government "locate citizens suitable for mobilisation". The video falsely asserts "an embedded program was discovered in [Stalker 2]'s code that collects player data and transmits it to [developer GSC Game World]'s servers". It's claimed this data - said to include the device name, IP address, and the current location of the player - is "transmitted every second" without the user's knowledge and handed to the Ukranian government, because GSC "made a deal with the state" in order to secure funding for Stalker 2.
