Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is coming to PS5 later this year

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is coming to PS5. On Wednesday, developer GSC Game World said the shooter will launch on Sony's console later this year.

To say Stalker 2 had a long development process would be an understatement. We're talking 14 years here. After navigating funding issues, the studio nearly being shut down and a transition to Unreal Engine 5, it was delayed again and again... and again.

Then, right when things were looking up, along came Vladimir Putin. See, GSC Game World is a Ukrainian developer based in Kyiv. After Russia's 2022 invasion, GSC paused development and later relocated part of its team to Prague. Sadly, a designer on the team was killed in the war. Work resumed nonetheless.

When the game finally arrived in November 2024, it was only available on PC and Xbox. That exclusivity window is now set to end, accompanied by the cheeky PS5 announcement trailer below.

Stalker 2 sold a million copies in its first two days. However, it landed with bugs aplenty (an all-too-familiar story these days). GSC has been pushing updates to clean it up ever since. In other words, the wait for PS5 owners may end up being a good thing.

You can wishlist the game now on the PlayStation Store. Although we know it's coming "late this year," we don't yet have a firm release date.
