STALKER 2: Updated PC System Requirements Demand High-End Hardware

With the November 20th release date fast approaching, STALKER 2's final PC system requirements have been unveiled, revealing a significant hardware demand, even at minimum settings. High-end rigs are essential for 4K resolution and high frame rates.

The updated specifications highlight the game's intense graphical fidelity. The "epic" settings, in particular, promise to rival even Crysis' notoriously demanding visuals. Below is a summary of the requirements:

Storage needs have also increased from 150GB to 160GB, with an SSD strongly recommended for optimal loading times crucial in this unforgiving open world.

Upscaling technologies, including Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR, will be implemented to improve performance. While the exact FSR version is yet to be specified, the inclusion of these features is a welcome addition.

Software ray tracing is confirmed, but hardware ray tracing remains uncertain for launch, despite ongoing experimentation. Lead Producer Slava Lukyanenka stated its inclusion at launch is "highly unlikely."
