Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl, a survival-horror shooter developed by GSC Game World, has been officially confirmed for release on PS5 later this year.
The developer company revealed that the first-person shooter initially released on Xbox Series S/X and PC last year, while it will be released on PS5 soon in 2025.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the developer company stated: “The Perimeter expands — S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is officially announced for PlayStation 5.”
However, GSC Game World did not share a platform release date but confirmed the title would launch on PS5 in late 2025.
Stalker 2 on PS5 will support the full range of DualSense controller features, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, the developer said.
GSC Game World said further technical advancements for the PS5 Pro version of the game were in development, as well.
GSC Game World also rolled out Patch 1.5.1 for Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl on Wednesday, bringing a host of fixes on PC and Xbox Series S/X.
The game was riddled with bugs and glitches when it launched last year, several of which have been addressed by the developer in subsequent patches.
In May, PS Plus Game Catalogue added Stalker: Legends of the Zone Trilogy, which bundles the first three Stalker titles — Shadow of Chornobyl (2007), Clear Sky (2008), and Call of Prypiat (2009).
