What is the latest Stalker 2 PS5 news? Despite only coming to Xbox Series X|S on day one, we could yet see GSC Game World’s long-awaited sequel hit PlayStation platforms.

Stalker 2 is not too far away now and that means that the PS5 version is also closer than it ever has been. So, if you have been looking forward to exploring the haunting desolate Chornobyl ruins, then Stalker 2 is for you. Here is the latest on the FPS game and the rumors, leaks, and details about a PlayStation version.

Stalker 2 PS5 latest news

The last we officially unofficially heard about the Stalker 2 PS5 port specifically is that it’s reportedly set to drop three months after its Xbox counterpart. Leaked documents from 2021 revealed that Microsoft had obtained a three-month exclusivity period for the title.

Though the game has been delayed multiple times, this clause seemingly remains intact. Stalker 2 is currently set to release only on the Xbox Series X|S console on September 5, 2024, as per the ‘Final Release Date Announcement’ trailer GSC Game World shared back in January.

Judging by this metric, then, we’ll be waiting until December 5 at the earliest for Sony to hop on the Stalker train – if it opts to, of course. While past Stalker games have always arrived on PlayStation, we can only set our expectations that Stalker 2 will follow suit due to the lack of confirmation for now.

Stalker 2 gameplay

Stalker 2 is an open-world game with a non-linear branching narrative set in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, an area plagued by mutated creatures and factions vying for control. With these horrifying mutants in play, Stalker 2 blends elements of horror into an FPS immersive sim, so expect some intense gameplay. There are even survival mechanics like hunger, sleeping, bleeding, and radiation effects.
