STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl has been through a number of delays, with particularly turbulent development.

Top Recommendations

That's been primarily due to the circumstances the developers at GSC Game World are in, with Russia invading Ukraine, causing widespread condemnation, including from across parts of the gaming industry. The nature of how this war has affected the studio and its workers is the subject of an upcoming documentary, which will be hosted on the official Xbox YouTube channel on Oct. 3, 2024.

Facing down this pressure, the developers have finally closed in on completion, and STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is currently slated to launch on Nov. 20, 2024 across Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC. It'll also be included in Xbox Game Pass at launch.
