This new update will not only polish the game but also make it more smoother to run and enjoy. For this year, everything has been completed, but GSC games have more plans for the upcoming 2025.
There will be more enhancements and more content for the game so fans can wait till then patiently. Fans of the franchise may also expect a next-generation update for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy, which will bring it up to date for Xbox franchise X/S and PlayStation 5.
No immediate PS5 port for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
Stalker 2 launch for Xbox and PC was a huge success, despite this, there are no plans for a PS5 port for now. This has been confirmed by the game director Grygorovych in an interview with Tech4Gamers.
“We were fully focused on developing (and now supporting) the PC and Xbox Series X/S versions,” Grygorovych explained. Sadly for PS5 owners, we can only hope to play Stalker 2 on PC for now.
