The creators of STALKER 2 explained the choice in favor of the Xbox “with several good prospects for the brand”
In a recent interview with GamingBolt, the Ukrainian studio GSC Game World once again commented on the platform ownership of the hotly anticipated post-apocalyptic shooter STALKER 2.
Recall that STALKER 2 is positioned as a ” console exclusive to the Xbox at launch,” in connection with which they stubbornly refuse to confirm the intention to release the game on PS5 in GSC Game World.
In a conversation with a GamingBolt journalist, an unnamed studio representative assured that at this stage, the team “has no plans” to port STALKER 2 to the Japanese console: “We are concentrating on the Xbox Series X and S version. “
The current situation in GSC Game World was explained by the favorable terms of the deal with Microsoft. Earlier it was reported that STALKER 2 would be available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers from the date of release.
“We discussed the possibilities with Microsoft and saw some good prospects for the [STALKER] brand, including Game Pass,” explained a spokesperson for GSC Game World.
The latest demonstration of STALKER 2 is dated March 26. On this day, the developers showed the Duty and Freedom factions, models of several types of weapons, and a tool for customizing NPC teeth.
STALKER 2 has no official release date yet. In early April, the voice actor Alexander Vilkov announced that the game was planned to be released this winter, but GSC Game World was urged not to trust this information.
