It is almost time to put on your gas masks and head back into the exclusion zone as Stalker 2 is due to arrive later this month. This series was a cult classic on PC, and many fans had been eagerly awaiting for a true sequel to arrive, making it one of the most anticipated upcoming Xbox games in addition to PC. However, the development suffered many delays over the years, the most recent being directly related to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, where the development team was located. Despite all that, Stalker 2 is ready to put us to the test in a hardcore shooter where every choice and step could be our last. Make sure you’re ready to return to Chornobyl with all the preload information we have available.

Stalker 2‘s file size has been revealed to be a massive 146 GB on Xbox Series X. If you don’t have an external hard drive, you may need to delete a game or two to create some space.

An exact size hasn’t been shared for the PC version, however, the Steam page lists 150 GB of free space as a requirement, so odds are it will be roughly the same size.

Stalker 2 preload options

Xbox players who have preordered are able to begin preloading Stalker 2 right now regardless of which edition you chose.

PC players cannot preload at this time, and there has been no word on when or if that option will be made available.
