There are no plans to release S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl on cloud services

The planned release date for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl is approaching. It seems that playing the game will require a powerful PC or Xbox Series

Among the minimum PC requirements for the upcoming S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl are an Intel Core i5-7600K (or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X) processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB (or AMD Radeon RX 580 8 GB) graphics card. At the same time, it was noted that the requirements are not final and may be changed closer to release.

There are “cloud” gaming services that allow owners of low-end PC configurations to play certain demanding games, but it seems that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl will not be among them.

The “Stalker / S.T.A.L.K.E.R.” community shared the developers’ response to a question regarding the game’s appearance on such services, for example on GeForce Now: “We do not plan to be present on cloud services”.

The release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl is scheduled for April 28, 2022. The game is being developed on Unreal Engine 5. It will be available on PC and Xbox Series X|S.
