So says Stalker 2’s roadmap for Q3 and Q4 2025, released yesterday. Right now, Stalker 2 uses Unreal Engine 5.1, but top of GSC’s list of bulletpoints for the year to come is “Engine update to Unreal Engine 5.5.4 (for optimisation).” That’s not the bleeding-edge version of Epic’s engine—that would be UE5.6—but it is a recent one: it only hit last March.
After unveiling the extensive Q3 and Q4 development plan for the game, featuring upgrades to modification tools, new quests, and night vision capabilities, as well as ongoing advancements in A-Life, the team assured that the open world will undergo a significant transformation by the time these enhancements are complete.
Lately, the team from GSC has revealed an updated STALKER 2 2025 timeline, providing insights into what players can expect for this radioactive open-world game in the near future.
As reported by GSC Game World, their primary focus for the upcoming period is to transition the game to Unreal Engine version 5.5.4, which currently runs on version 5.1 UE. This upgrade is anticipated to provide the shooter game with additional features and enhanced stability and performance. For your convenience, here’s a list of these updates prepared by GSC Game World in Ukraine.
It seems very probable that these improvements will be released concurrently with the anticipated PS5 version, which was initially announced towards the start of July. Additionally, the port aims to launch sometime during the remainder of this year.
On various social media platforms, it was revealed that the official timeline for Stalker 2’s Q3 and Q4 releases is set, bringing eagerly anticipated features such as Night Vision tools, a lengthened day-night cycle, new anomalies, weapons, missions, and additional content. These enhancements will be rolled out throughout the remaining months of 2025.
