Stalker 2 is one of the best shooters to come out in 2024, but so far, only Xbox and PC gamers get to enjoy it. How about us Sony fans? Will Stalker 2 even be released for PlayStation?
Stalker 2 has captivated gamers worldwide – but only those with an Xbox or a PC (I don't want to hear anything about "PC master race", alright?). Sony fans and PlayStation owners had to watch from afar while others had fun with the new shooter. So, how about a PlayStation port, dearest GSC Game World?
Will Stalker 2 remain exclusive to PC and Xbox?
Stalker 2 game director Ievgen Grygorovych spoke to Tech4Gamers about the burning question if the game will be released for PlayStation as well. It pains me to say it, but it looks grim for us Sony folk:
We were fully focused on developing (and now supporting) the PC and Xbox Series X/S versions.
Ouch. Still, there's rumors the exclusivity is only for a period of three months – that would mean there's a possibility for Stalker 2 on PlayStation 5 in late February. However, Grygorovych didn't comment on those rumors in the interview.
At the very least, he didn't outright deny a PlayStation port; that has to count for something. Still, it might be for the best not to hold your breath for a Sony console release. While experience has shown that successful games like Stalker 2 often get released across all platforms available, it's always a good thing to avoid disappointments, so try not to get your hopes up.
As always, we'll keep you posted if that changes! Will you be waiting (and hoping) for a PlayStation release of Stalker 2 or does the exclusivity mean you'll have to skip the game? Let us know in the comments!
