STALKER 2 is shaping up to be everything we envisioned, with the launch nearly here, and we are incredibly excited to share more with you. To give you a taste of what’s coming, we’re thrilled to announce the STALKER 2 developer deep dive video, which will be released on Xbox media channels on August 12th. This detailed update will include exclusive interviews, lots of new footage, and a full video walkthrough of one of the game quests. We can’t wait for you to see it and get a comprehensive understanding of how the game looks and plays.

We are always grateful for your ongoing support and understanding – it means the world to us. We’re just as eager as you are to finally release the game and for you to experience it for yourself.

STALKER 2 is shaping up to be one of the most graphically impressive games on 2024. On PC, the game will be available through Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store. The game will also be available through PC Game Pass on day-1. The game uses Unreal Engine 5 and the game’s PC system requirements are available to look at here.
