As a long-time gamer with memories of countless hours spent in the original STALKER series, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and slight disappointment upon hearing that STALKer 2: Heart of Chornobyl is currently skipping the PS5. While I understand that the developer’s focus should be on delivering the best experience possible for their intended platforms, it’s always a bummer when my PlayStation collection feels a bit incomplete.
Although the Xbox Series X|S gaming console may not have a vast selection of exclusive games, particularly those developed by third-party studios, there is one title this year that has received positive reviews and appears to be equally available for both consoles. The game I’m referring to is STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, developed by GSC Game World.
If you own a PS5 and are anticipating the release of the game on your console, since it’s widely recognized as the leading platform of this generation, you may need to be patient, as the developers have clarified that they aren’t developing a STALKER 2 port for PS5 at the moment.
GSC Confirms No Plans Of Porting STALKER 2 On PS5
The piece of news about STALKER 2 was verified during an interview with its game director, Ievgen Grygorovych.
When asked whether GSC Game World has plans to port the shooter to other consoles, Grygorovych replied, “We were fully focused on developing (and now supporting) the PC and Xbox Series X/S versions.”
In addition to the questions about timed exclusivity for the Xbox version and possible improvements for the PlayStation 5 Pro edition of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, Grygorovych remained tight-lipped. However, when asked about potential leaks, rumors, or speculations, the developer chose not to comment. They clarified that they have only developed and are supporting the PC and Xbox Series X/S versions of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.
It’s good to note that GSC Game World can make a profit with STALKER 2 without requiring a PS5 version, since the studio recently announced they are already in the black (i.e., profitable) for this game.
If you’re unsure whether to give this game a try, our review suggests that once you start playing, you might lose track of time and end up investing around 100 hours without realizing it. This is particularly true if you are a fan of the earlier versions of the game.
The development team has been working diligently on releasing patches to tackle the technical problems in the game, and the first significant update includes more than 1,800 enhancements throughout the entire game.
Concerning the upcoming developments of STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, GSC Game World has shared their strategic plans for the next year. Players can anticipate updates in the form of patches, a detailed content roadmap, and additional exciting news to come. However, it’s important to note that there won’t be an announcement regarding PS5 compatibility at this time, so there should be no disappointment on that front.
