Stalcraft: X will run a Snowstorm program across January 2026 on Steam that mixes gameplay balance changes with event-driven loot and activity boosts. The developer’s outline says the January plan includes balance adjustments, events with increased farming, new airdrops, and a special addition to the Zone so players should expect steady activity rather than downtime.
Core points to watch:
- Balance adjustments will land alongside the event schedule; the changes are listed as part of the Snowstorm rollout rather than a separate patch window.
- Timed events will raise farming rates and rotate content to bring more loot opportunities to active players.
- New airdrops will appear during the month, offering fresh gear and scavenging targets for squads moving through the Zone.
- The developer teases a special feature arriving during January that will run for a limited time.
Players who missed the bigger overhaul last fall can see what changed in October; the game received broad balance work and barter updates that altered how weapons and gear flow through the economy. For background on those changes, see the October 15 patch summary. Expect the Zone to be busier than usual through January, with more opportunities to farm, fight for airdrops, and test how the balance tweaks land in live rounds.
