This achievement highlights the effectiveness of an innovative multimedia loyalty program developed over nine months of partnership.

The initiative included the release of an almanac titled 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Memory of the Zone', whose first print run sold out in just four days. Over 100,000 copies of the almanac were produced in total. Additionally, more than 4 million collectible cards were manufactured as part of the program, demonstrating strong consumer engagement.
