PlayStation 5 gamers will finally experience STALKER 2 Heart of Chornobyl when it arrives late next year. GSC Game World made the announcement official through social media and released a teaser trailer. The short video shows game characters holding what appears to be a PlayStation controller decorated with STALKER themes. Fans can already add the title to their PlayStation Store wishlist for future notifications about pre-orders and release dates. The developer confirmed the game will expand beyond its current platforms.
STALKER 2 first appeared on PC and Xbox Series X/S consoles during late 2024. The launch created some drama because early review copies contained numerous technical problems before the official release date. A major patch fixed many issues just as the game went live for regular players. Despite these technical troubles, the title still managed to attract over 6 million players across all platforms. Critics praised the game as a solid continuation of the beloved series.
GSC Game World keeps releasing updates and improvements for the existing versions. Last month brought modding tools for PC players and various bug fixes. PS5 and PS5 Pro owners might enjoy the smoothest console experience when their version launches. The extra development time should allow developers to polish out remaining technical issues. Previous STALKER games appeared on PlayStation consoles, making this announcement somewhat expected for series fans.
