STALKER 2's demanding PC system requirements revealed: Prepare for intense performance needs!
With just a week until its November 20th release, STALKER 2's final PC system requirements have been unveiled, highlighting the game's intense hardware demands, even at minimum settings. High-end rigs will be essential for 4K resolution and high frame rates.
The updated specifications are detailed below:
| OS | Windows 10 x64, Windows 11 x64 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RAM | 16GB Dual Channel | 32GB Dual Channel | ||
| Storage | SSD ~160GB | |||
While minimum requirements are relatively manageable, achieving smooth 4K gameplay at high frame rates necessitates a powerful system. "Epic" settings, in particular, promise performance demands rivaling Crysis' infamous 2007 high settings. Storage has also increased from 150GB to 160GB, with an SSD strongly recommended for optimal loading times crucial in this unforgiving game.
Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR upscaling will be included to improve visual fidelity without sacrificing performance. However, the specific FSR version remains unconfirmed.
Software ray tracing is confirmed, but hardware ray tracing, while experimented with, is unlikely to be available at launch, according to Lead Producer Slava Lukyanenka.
Launching November 20, 2024, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl promises a demanding open-world experience where player choices significantly influence the narrative. For further details on gameplay and story, explore our related article.
