# Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl Finally Coming to PS5 in 2025 – What to Expect
Great news for PlayStation fans—Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl is officially making its way to PS5 in late 2025! After years of anticipation, developer GSC Game World has confirmed the long-awaited port, promising an immersive survival-horror experience tailored for Sony’s console.
## Why PS5 Players Should Be Excited
### 1. DualSense Controller Support
One of the biggest perks? The game will fully utilize the PS5’s DualSense controller, enhancing immersion with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. Imagine feeling the tension of a gunfight or the eerie hum of the Zone’s anomalies—Stalker 2 aims to pull you deeper into its post-apocalyptic world.
### 2. Optimized for PS5 Pro
With the PS5 Pro on the horizon, GSC Game World has already confirmed that Stalker 2 will receive enhancements for the upgraded hardware. Expect higher resolutions, smoother frame rates, and improved ray tracing—making the radioactive wastelands even more hauntingly beautiful.
## What’s the Wait About?
Originally slated for an earlier release, Stalker 2 has faced delays due to development challenges and the ongoing war in Ukraine (where GSC is based). However, the extra time has allowed the team to refine gameplay, AI, and atmosphere—ensuring the final product lives up to the hype.
## Final Thoughts
For fans of atmospheric survival games like Metro Exodus or DayZ, Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl is shaping up to be a must-play. With DualSense integration and PS5 Pro upgrades, the wait until late 2025 might just be worth it.
