S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will be released on Xbox Series X/S and Windows PC on September 5, 2024. The release of the game project has been anticipated since 2010, and finally, the developers have reached the home stretch after numerous delays and suspensions. The minimum and recommended system requirements for Stalker 2 have also been announced, which your PC must meet if you want to try out the new game.

Minimum System Requirements

The minimum system requirements are the conditions that only guarantee the game will run on a PC. However, the graphics and frame rate will leave much to be desired, especially if you want to play on settings above the minimum.

Minimum system requirements for Stalker 2:

• OS: Windows 10/11;
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X/Intel Core i5-7600K;
• RAM: 8 GB;
• Graphics Card: Radeon RX 580/GeForce GTX 1060;
• Free space on SSD: 150 GB.

Recommended System Requirements

The situation is better with the recommended system requirements. If your PC meets them, you are more likely to play comfortably with good graphics and medium to high settings. 

Recommended system requirements for Stalker 2:

• OS: Windows 10/11;
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X/Intel Core i7-9700K;
• RAM: 16 GB;
• Graphics Card: Radeon RX 5700 XT/GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER or GeForce GTX 1080 Ti;
• Free space on SSD: 150 GB.

There are exactly 3 months left until the official release - that's how much time players have to upgrade their PCs and prepare for the release of Stalker 2. Pre-orders can already be placed on Steam, Epic Games, the Xbox website, and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. project site.
