As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has undeniably made its mark on the gaming world this year. With its captivating narrative and immersive gameplay, it’s no wonder why it’s a standout title for many.
However, being an Xbox Series X/S owner, I find myself in a bit of a predicament. The game is only available on PC and my console, leaving out fellow PlayStation 5 enthusiasts from the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone experience. While I understand that GSC Game World is currently focusing on perfecting the PC and Xbox versions, it’s hard not to feel a twinge of jealousy towards my PS5-owning friends.
On a lighter note, I can’t help but wonder if Microsoft has struck some sort of secret deal with GSC Game World, turning S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 into the Xbox Series X/S’s answer to Sony’s exclusive titles like God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn. Maybe one day, we’ll see a PS5 version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, but until then, I guess us Xbox players get to enjoy the radioactive rain first!
And hey, who knows? With the game’s planned expansions and potential future console releases, maybe they’ll find a way to make us share our cherished Stalker gear with PlayStation players. If that happens, I might just have to invest in a PS5 controller for the occasion!
Among the standout games released towards the end of the year, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl certainly made a strong impression. As of now, it can be played exclusively on PC and Xbox Series X/S platforms, and it seems that this will continue to be the case for some time, at least in the near future.
- This information comes from an interview that Ievgen Grygorovych from GSC Game World studio gave to Tech4Gamers.
- Grygorovych stated that currently, the studio isn’t working on porting S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl for other consoles. The team is solely focused on developing PC and Xbox Series X/S versions.
- The Tech4Gamers editor attempted to find out if the absence of a PlayStation 5 version is due to an exclusivity deal with Microsoft, but Grygorovych declined to respond to this question.

It seems that at present, “S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl” is only scheduled for one console release. However, it’s conceivable that in the future, it may become available on other consoles, but not immediately. Previously, developers have announced intentions to create two expansions for the game. So, it wouldn’t be unexpected if its PS5 release occurred after the initial launch, possibly as a bundle that includes both the main game and DLC.
This presents an unusual scenario. Currently, Microsoft is often releasing its games on PS5 (for example, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be available on PlayStation 5 in spring 2025). Consequently, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl stands out as a unique console exclusive for the Xbox Series X/S.
Just a heads up, the highly-anticipated game “S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl” dropped on November 20th! It’s now playable not only on PC but also on Xbox Series S/X, as it’s been included in the Game Pass subscription since its release.
