Those at Redmond have managed to produce the most powerful and smallest Xbox, respectively, in history, with a Game Pass that keeps growing. Both before and after the launch of the consoles, we saw a long list of titles in development. Games that promise to take full advantage of the potential of Microsoft’s new hardware. Between AAA and renowned studios, an unexpected STALKER 2. Its first part quickly became a cult adventure, which enjoys great popularity among PC users. Now its second part surprises the new generation, and it seems that without it it would not have been possible.

Right now, as is often the case with each launch of a new system, there are a multitude of games that bet on intergenerational launches. All the more so if we take into account the lack of stock of the Xbox Series and the Playstation 5. The case of STALKER 2 he is one of the few to break this unwritten “rule” so far. There are always exceptions, as has happened with The way, and it seems that its development would not have been possible without the new consoles. The upcoming GSC Game World shooter will be exclusive to the new generation.

Additionally, Bocharov also reiterated that the game will take place in 4K and Xbox Series X and will admit HDR both in the X-series and the S-series.
