We learned in July that Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl would come to
PlayStation later this year. On Thursday, developer GSC Gameworld gave us a
specific release date: November 20. That's exactly a year after its PC and
Xbox launch.

The PS5 version will support adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, gyro aiming
and more. Meanwhile, PS5 Pro users will see upgraded resolution, shadows and
reflections (among other enhancements). The game will be available in a $60
standard edition, an $80 deluxe one and a $110 ultimate edition.

The game had quite a development process: It lasted 14 years. (Amusingly,
"Stalker 2 sneaking up on a 2012 launch" was our first headline about the
game.) GSC Gameworld was plagued by funding issues, a near shutdown and a
transition to a new game engine. Then, Russia threw another wrench in the
Ukrainian studio's plans, with its 2022 invasion. Sadly, the company even
lost a team member in the war.

When the game finally launched in 2024, it still had plenty of bugs. However,
the team has worked hard to patch those ever since. Hopefully, the
PlayStation version will benefit from the extra clean-up time and offer a
polished experience from day one.

You can pre-order Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl today from the PlayStation
Store.
