After months of speculation, GSC Game World has confirmed that Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is officially coming to PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro in late 2025. Originally a console exclusive for Xbox, this gritty post-apocalyptic survival shooter will soon be available for PlayStation players—with no official date yet, but a release window locked in.
The PS5 version will support the DualSense controller’s features, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for a more immersive feel. GSC also mentioned additional technical enhancements specifically for PS5 Pro, likely boosting visuals and performance.
Stalker 2 puts you in the shoes of a lone stalker exploring the deadly Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, where mutated creatures, radiation, and anomalies turn every mission into a high-stakes survival story. The game mixes open-world exploration, intense firefights, and survival mechanics like hunger, bleeding, and weapon maintenance.
Despite some early technical issues at launch on PC and Xbox in 2024, Stalker 2 sold over 1 million copies within days and has been steadily improving with patches and updates. The PlayStation version is expected to launch with those fixes baked in.
If you missed out the first time, this upcoming release is your chance to experience one of the most atmospheric shooters of recent years—this time, fully tuned for PlayStation.
