GSC Game World has officially confirmed that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is coming to PlayStation 5. The release is scheduled for November 20, 2025, with the standard edition priced at $59.99.
This marks the second major update about the long-anticipated shooter in just a few weeks. Last month, the developers unveiled a teaser where characters debated who would get to try the game using a custom controller styled after the Zone. Now, the studio has revealed that fans will have the choice between a digital copy and a physical edition — a detail that will surely please collectors.
For those seeking more, GSC Game World is preparing a special Ultimate Habar Pack collector’s edition. However, players will need patience: it won’t arrive until early 2026.
Technical specifics about the PlayStation 5 version remain under wraps. The developers have yet to clarify which graphical modes will be supported or what enhancements PS5 Pro owners can expect. With months still to go before launch, there is time for the studio to shed light on these details. Meanwhile, fans can begin counting down the days until they return to the eerie and dangerous Zone — this time on Sony’s console.
The game carries an age rating of 18+.
