STALKER 2 Release Time in Your Region | Launch Countdown

On 20 November 2024, PC and Xbox Series X/S gamers will return to the exclusion zone in the long-awaited first-person survival title, STALKER 2, or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, if you want to be precise.

It's been over 17 years since the release of the original game, and while I'm feeling super old right now, having played the original for dozens of hours back in 2007, I know that some players can't wait a second longer to jump in. That's where the global release times for STALKER 2 come in, so let's gear up and get started.
