You play Major Degtyarev, a special-service agent sent into the Zone to investigate the fate of a lost expedition. The search takes you through Zaton, Jupiter, and Pripyat, where you meet local stalkers and uncover clues about what happened.
Explore abandoned sites, take on main and side quests, scavenge supplies, and fight hostile people and mutants. Anomaly fields are dangerous but can yield valuable artifacts, which you locate with detectors. How you approach some tasks can affect the people and groups you encounter.
Manage your equipment and limited resources as you travel: weapons and armor can be repaired and upgraded, while finding tools helps unlock further improvements. This Enhanced Edition adds visual updates, gamepad support, and Steam achievements to the existing game.
Reviewers who praise the underlying game often highlight the Zone’s eerie atmosphere, exploratory freedom, engaging side quests, and satisfying cycle of scavenging, finding artifacts, and improving equipment. Opinions of the Enhanced Edition itself are mixed: some appreciate its visual updates, controller support, or achievements, while many reviews criticize bugs and crashes, visual or performance problems, and removed voice or environmental details.

Atmospheric visual enhancements including God Rays, Dynamic Screen Space Reflections, and Advanced Global Illumination effects.
Redesigned water shaders, upgraded skyboxes, and wetness effects.
Improved visuals with upscaled textures featuring more detailed NPCs and environment.
Upgraded weapon Field of View and models.
Multiple bugfixes and quality of life tweaks.
Full gamepad support.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Prypiat follows the story of special service agent Major Degtyarev as he investigates the fate of a lost expedition. Rich with colorful characters, memorable side stories, and the spirit of true freedom, this chapter delivers a powerful and unforgettable conclusion to the Legends of the Zone Trilogy.
Explore the previously inaccessible core regions of the Zone. Traverse the marshlands of Zaton, investigate the abandoned industrial complex at Jupiter, wander through the ghostly remains of Prypiat city, and descend into long-forgotten underground catacombs, sealed away for ages.
The Zone is more unpredictable than ever, its anomalies warping reality in deadly ways. Seek cover from sudden emissions and prepare to confront new mutant threats: stealthy alpha-predator Chimera and sinister Burer, whose telekinetic abilities turn shadowed undergrounds into a nightmare.
Immerse yourself in a unique blend of action, horror, survival, and RPG elements within the hauntingly realistic Eastern European dark science fiction world. Your choices will influence the destinies of those you encounter and shape your own survival.
Good Hunting, stalker!
