Now, back to the matter at hand. Here’s everything you need to know about Stalker 2 on PS5.

Is Stalker 2 launching on PS5?

Stalker 2 is not available on PS5 as of the game’s launch.

On November 20, 2024, the long-awaited sequel became available exclusively for the Xbox Series X/S consoles. Remarkably, it was also released for PC on the same date.

Although there hasn’t been an official announcement yet from GSC Game World about a possible PlayStation 5 release, it doesn’t necessarily imply that such a release won’t happen in the future.

Will Stalker 2 come to PS5 later?

Stalker 2 could come to the PS5 later.

According to an article published by The Verge, it appears that Stalker 2 will initially be available exclusively on Xbox as part of a timed agreement. The article reveals this through a confidential document which provides insight into the exclusivity deals for Xbox games.

According to the article from The Verge, the document reveals that Stalker 2 will be exclusively available on Xbox for a period of three months.

This means that we could well see Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl get a PS5 release in 2025.

When could Stalker 2 come to PS5? Our prediction

As a diehard movie enthusiast, I’m eagerly awaiting that “Stalker 2” might grace my PlayStation 5 screen by the tail end of February 2025. The reason behind this tentative timeline seems to be a three-month Xbox exclusivity agreement that’s been reported.

Approximately three months following November 20th, 2024 will be February 20th, 2025. This suggests that it’s possible the PS5 update might become available anytime from February 20th, 2025 and onward.

Indeed, assuming the information presented in the confidential document reported by The Verge remains accurate, it’s important to note that both the document and the associated report were produced in the year 2021.

Since the initial claim three years ago that Stalker 2 would enjoy a three-month exclusive run on Xbox at its launch, it’s quite possible that circumstances have shifted in the meantime.

In time, we’ll find out when or if Sony and/or GSC Game World announce the PlayStation 5 release date for Stalker 2, once a port has been verified.

We’ll update this page if Stalker 2 is confirmed for PS5.

Currently available for both Xbox Series X/S (including Game Pass) and PC, you can now play Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
