STALKER 2 Hardware Demands Revamped!

STALKER 2's demanding PC specs revealed: Prepare for intense performance needs! The recently released system requirements for STALKER 2 highlight the game's significant hardware demands, even at minimum settings. High-end rigs will be essential for 4K gaming and high frame rates.

System Requirements Detailed:

The final system requirements, released just before the November 20th launch, are considerably high. Even achieving playable frame rates at lower settings requires substantial hardware. High-end configurations are needed for optimal performance.

Here's a summary of the requirements:

The game's storage needs have increased from 150GB to 160GB, with an SSD strongly recommended for optimal loading times. This is crucial in a game where quick reactions are vital for survival.

Upscaling technologies like Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR will be included to improve visual fidelity without impacting performance. However, the specific FSR version remains unconfirmed.

Software ray tracing is confirmed, but hardware ray tracing, while being explored, is unlikely to be available at launch, according to Lead Producer Slava Lukyanenka.
