Play Stalzone PC for free

STALZONE is the PvPvE extraction shooter where you don't have to start over — and the only one with a persistent world worth belonging to.

You are invited to explore the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone twisted by anomalies and divided between rival factions whose territories shape the danger around you. Choose your side and over time you’ll learn where it’s safer to travel and also where every route can become a gamble.

Experience nail-biting tension without the frustration of loss: keep your gear and long-term progress but the loot you find is at risk until you bring it back alive. Upgrade your weapons and refine your build. No one can take it away from you.
 

The world persists and is not just a place to loot. NPCs live in it, factions fight over it, and players shape it with no escape timers or progression wipes. It's the only extraction shooter that plays like an MMO — and the only MMO that plays like an extraction shooter.

The Zone is a living social ecosystem where open-world events, faction conflicts, social hubs, and a player-driven market bring people together. Trade, cooperate in 5-player squads, ambush, betray, or carve out your own reputation. Every system creates interaction, and every interaction becomes a story.

A cinematic storyline that includes main and side quests smoothly immerses you in the world and its mechanics through nail-biting action, dialogues, and real choices that affect the story. You’ll enjoy a narrative experience almost like a single-player STALKER-style journey inside a persistent online world.

STALZONE has grown through years of development, iteration, and community-driven evolution. Over that time, it has become a unique ecosystem of mechanics, social systems, and player-made stories unlike anything else.

• Skill-driven gunplay — victory comes from aim, tactics, and game knowledge, not just gear. Master 200+ realistic weapons with deep customization built for true gun lovers.
• Persistent progression — your character, reputation, equipment, faction ties, and place in the world carry forward over time with no progression wipes.
• Fair free-to-play model — monetization focuses on cosmetics and optional progression support, not buying power. Everything can be earned in-game and even paid skins or boosters can be obtained through the player-driven marketplace.
• Global matchmaking for fairer fights — players are matched by similar power, keeping raw gear advantage in check. High-tier gear brings high-tier danger, so success still depends primarily on skill and experience.
• In-house anti-cheat — STALZONE runs on our own engine and is protected by EXENS, our dedicated anti-cheat team, giving us maximum control in a genre where balance is crucial.
• Community-shaped world — years of updates, feedback, balance changes, and player behavior have turned STALZONE into a living online world with its own rules, stories, and culture.
• Proximity voice chat — hear the players around you before you see them. Every encounter becomes a negotiation, a deception, or a standoff.
