Today marks a significant moment in the Zone: The highly anticipated 1.5 update for Stalker 2 has arrived! This update offers enhancements to the much-loved and somewhat broken A-Life system, numerous bug fixes, and fresh content to explore.
Instead, allow me to focus on a different topic – the simultaneous unveiling of Stalker 2 Zone Kit by GSC Game World, which they refer to as their “phase 1” in creating modding tools for one of my favorite games from the previous year. Despite its initial launch being somewhat turbulent.
On the product description, it’s stated, “Customize the Zone according to your preferences using the Stalker 2 Zone Creation Kit.” This means you can either adjust pre-existing elements or generate entirely novel content – including animations, weaponry, gameplay mechanics, and extraordinary features of the Zone.
That sounds fantastic! If only I possessed the abilities such as coding, design, and programming (in an imaginary realm where I’m equipped with those talents), I’d be more than happy to hit that download button. Let me verify first if I have enough… roughly 700 gigabytes of free space available.
Hey there, fellow gamers! Here’s a fun fact: The modding toolkit for Stalker 2 seems to be aiming pretty high, requiring almost an entire terabyte of space on your hard drive or SSD, as per the system requirements on Epic Games. When I gave it a shot, it requested a download of 471 GB, which would expand into a cozy 659 GB on my storage. Quite a spacious home for this toolkit, don’t you think?
For your convenience, Stalker 2 requires approximately 160 gigabytes of storage space on your computer and has room for over ten additional mod packs. The Creation Kit for Starfield is a mere 20 GB, which is about 32 times smaller than Stalker’s. Baldur’s Gate 3’s toolkit needs around 150 GB, which is substantial but not surprising in the year 2025. Frostpunk 2’s FrostKit (another UE5 game) requires 100 GB of storage space as well.
As a dedicated enthusiast, I must admit that the size of Stalker 2’s mod tools is quite extraordinary. It’s almost as if they’ve managed to stuff an entire city within these files! I’m curious about this, so I’ve reached out to GSC to inquire about it. If I receive a response, I’ll be sure to share the details here. And yes, I’ve patiently scheduled the download for Q2, 2026, marking my calendar with anticipation!
I may tease, but deep down, I’m truly excited that Stalker 2 is still in active development and that modders are finally getting access to proper tools. A representative from GSC shared on Reddit that they released the Zone Kit as Phase 1, with the intention of collaborating with mod creators. While it already has numerous features, this is just the beginning. In Phase 2, there will be even more opportunities to explore and manipulate the game world using the Zone Kit.
At which point, I don’t know, you’ll have to invest in a NAS to house the thing, I guess.
