With the November 20th release date fast approaching, the final PC system requirements for STALKER 2 have been unveiled, highlighting the game's significant hardware demands, even at minimum settings. High-end rigs will be necessary for 4K resolution and high frame rates.

The updated specifications, detailed below, showcase a substantial jump in requirements compared to earlier estimates. Expect even higher demands when playing at maximum settings.

Achieving smooth gameplay at 4K, especially with "epic" settings, will challenge even the most powerful PCs, potentially surpassing the notorious performance demands of Crysis' highest settings. The storage requirement has also increased from 150GB to 160GB; an SSD is strongly recommended for optimal loading times.
Upscaling technologies like Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR will be included to mitigate performance issues, although the specific FSR version remains unconfirmed. While software ray tracing is confirmed, hardware ray tracing is still under development and unlikely to be available at launch.

Launching November 20th, 2024, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl promises a challenging, open-world, non-linear adventure where player choices significantly impact the narrative. For a deeper dive into gameplay and story, see our related article.
