STALCRAFT: X will take its STALZONE servers offline for scheduled maintenance on August 5, 2026. The downtime will cover the EU, NA, SEA, and NEA regions.

EXBO announced the service interruption in a Steam notice. The maintenance window is planned for 08:00 to 11:00 CEST, with the following regional times also provided:

EST: 02:00 AM to 05:00 AM
GMT+8: 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM

STALZONE servers will be unavailable

Players in the affected regions will not be able to access the STALZONE servers while the work is underway. EXBO also warned that unexpected problems could change the scheduled window.

The announcement covers server availability only and does not detail a new gameplay update, balance changes, or other content arriving alongside the maintenance. Players should plan around the outage and wait for service to return before starting their next trip into the Zone.
