STALKER 2's updated PC system requirements are in, and they're intense—demanding even for those aiming for lower settings. Prepare for a challenging experience for your hardware, mirroring the game's harsh world.
With launch just a week away (November 20th), the final system specs are here, and they're substantial. Even minimum settings require a capable PC, while higher settings demand a true powerhouse.
The updated system requirements are detailed below:
| OS | Windows 10 x64 Windows 11 x64 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RAM | 16GB Dual Channel | 32GB Dual Channel | ||
| Storage | SSD ~160GB | |||
While minimum specs are reasonable, smooth 4K gameplay at high frame rates necessitates a top-tier gaming rig. "Epic" settings, in particular, rival the notorious demands of Crysis' highest settings from 2007.
Storage needs increased slightly, from 150GB to 160GB. An SSD is strongly recommended for optimal loading times—crucial in a game where every decision matters.
Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR upscaling will be included to boost visual fidelity without sacrificing performance. However, the specific FSR version remains unconfirmed.
The developers also confirmed software ray tracing. Hardware ray tracing, while being experimented with, is unlikely to be available at launch.
Launching November 20, 2024, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl will be a demanding, open-world, non-linear adventure where player choices significantly shape the story and its outcome.
