Here's the exact release time you can play STALKER 2 on launch day this week

STALKER 2.

GSC Game World's STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is one of 2024's most-anticipated titles, with the Xbox and Windows PC survival horror FPS getting tons of attention on social media and garnering so much interest on Steam that it's now the fourth most-wishlisted game on the platform. The wait for the game has been a painfully long one due to several delays caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but after much hardship, its developers are finally ready to launch the title. It's now just a few days away from its scheduled release date, with preloading available on Xbox Series X|S consoles.

Naturally, plenty of stalkers want to know when exactly they'll be able to cross The Zone's borders and begin their adventure in the massive open world. For a long time, we've only known about the STALKER 2 release date, but recently GSC also revealed its specific launch time as well. You'll find that information below, along with a brief overview of what to expect from the shooter.
