As a long-time fan of immersive, open-world RPGs, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and trepidation as STALKER 2 gears up for its release next week. Having waited over a decade for this game, the sheer size of it is both intimidating and exciting – with a whopping 146.58GB file size that dwarfs even some of the industry’s biggest titles.
After much anticipation over many years, STALKER 2 is nearly upon us, but keep in mind it requires a substantial amount of storage space to play. The Xbox console has had a relatively quiet year in terms of exclusives, but it’s ending with a bang. Unfortunately, the console experienced some significant setbacks last year with games like Redfall, but Microsoft aims to make up for that with some major hits this year. In addition to giving Xbox Game Pass subscribers Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at no additional cost, Microsoft intends to strengthen its exclusive library in November and December by releasing games such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and STALKER 2, a highly-anticipated post-apocalyptic survival game that has been in development for an extended period.
Since 2010, the much-anticipated game titled “STALKER 2” has been under development and will finally be released next week on Xbox and PC platforms. Although not developed or published by Xbox, Microsoft has long supported the game and collaborated with GSC Game World to promote it and include it in Xbox Game Pass on its launch day. This is a significant milestone as Xbox Game Pass subscribers can enjoy this expansive RPG at no additional cost. However, the game will require a substantial amount of storage space from players. “STALKER 2” can be pre-loaded and requires approximately 146.58 GB on the Xbox Series X|S. This overshadows other large titles like “Red Dead Redemption 2“, “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6“, “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor“, and more, making it one of the largest Xbox games in terms of file size. Fingers crossed that this substantial size translates to an abundance of content and top-notch textures.
On November 20th, STALKER 2 will be available for release. If you’re a player eager to jump in on the launch day, you can pre-load the game onto your console ahead of time for a smooth playing experience. Xbox Game Pass subscribers even have the advantage of downloading the game immediately, while those opting for the full retail price can do so as well. However, it seems that STALKER 2 will not be compatible with Xbox Play Anywhere, which may disappoint those who like to switch between console and PC gaming.
STALKER 2, an extraordinary title, has defied seemingly insurmountable challenges, ranging from office fires to being situated in the heart of conflicts. Remarkably, some team members even found themselves joining the Russian-Ukrainian war. Despite these adversities, the development studio relocated its operations to Prague to carry on with the project. To add to the hardships, the studio endured a cyberattack, leading to sensitive game materials being released online, including playable versions of STALKER 2. These events forced numerous delays, pushing the initial release date from December 2022 to an unspecified future. Regardless, fans are eagerly anticipating its eventual launch and immersing themselves in the game.
