Despite having tried their best, the developer sees that there are still a number of technical imperfections that cause STALKER 2 to be below the expected standard, so they decide to postpone it.

The main focus of the story on STALKER 2: The Heart of Chornobyl is expected to last 40 hours and show the return of a character like Strider from Call of Pripyat.

It will be present on Xbox Series X/S and PC when it launches on the first day on Game Pass. Look at some of the latest screenshots featuring a fresher and more lively UI.

STALKER 2: The Heart of Chornobyl will launch for PC and Xbox Series X/S on September 5 and will be part of the Xbox Game Pass catalog from day one.

"Thank you for your continuous patience and support, and be prepared to see more information about this game this year," the announcement concluded.
