Stalker 2 coming to PS5 and PS5 Pro later this year

Stalker 2 has been a success so far, but it is time to expand. After releasing as an Xbox console exclusive, GSC Game World is now bringing Stalker 2 to PS5, opening the game up to millions of new gamers. Better yet, many of the bugs that were present at launch have been squashed, to PS5 players will be getting a much better day-one experience. 

While Stalker 2 launched in a rough state, fans were quick to forgive GSC Game World due to the circumstances surrounding the game's development. GSC Game World was based in Ukraine, but when Russia invaded the country in 2022, the studio was forced to relocate. A Russia-linked cyberattack on the studio also led to further delays of the game's launch.

Since launch, GSC Game World has shipped a number of major patches for Stalker 2, the biggest of which arrived last month and makes major changes to the game's flagship A-LIFE simulation technology.

Now with A-LIFE 2.0 now rolled out, GSC Game World can carve out some time to bring Stalker 2 to more platforms. The game launched last year as an Xbox console exclusive. Now, the game will debut on PS5 for the first time ‘later this year'. The lack of firm release date information leaves the door open for a delay.

The announcement follows the recent multi-platform release of the original Stalker games on consoles and PC.
