The highly anticipated S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl arrives on PlayStation 5 with enhanced graphics, DualSense support, and pre-order bonuses

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will debut on PlayStation 5 on November 20, 2025, consolidating the franchise's expansion to new platforms. Developed by GSC Game World, the title had already achieved great success on Xbox and PC since its launch in November 2024, surpassing one million copies sold.

The arrival on Sony's console represents a key step in the studio's strategy.  Users will be able to explore the dangerous Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, a 64 km² (24.7 square miles) environment filled with mystery, action, and horror elements, with multiple narrative decisions that alter the course of the story.

Graphical improvements and exclusive PS5 features

The PlayStation 5 version will fully leverage the console's features. Among them are:

  • Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers through DualSense.
  • Immersive sound with Tempest 3D Audio.
  • Visual optimization for PS5 Pro, with more realistic reflections, advanced shadows, fog effects, and improved global illumination.

GSC Game World announced benefits for those who pre-order the title before its release. The base package includes:

  • Additional narrative content around the iconic campfire.

Projection and impact on the gaming community

The arrival of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 on PlayStation 5 will allow more players to experience the dangers of the Zone: radiation, limited resources, unpredictable mutants, and enemy factions.

The studio confirmed that, after the launch, it will continue to offer improvements, new content, and a multiplayer mode. This promise keeps expectations high among fans, who anticipate an intense online experience in a world devastated by nuclear disaster.
