The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 system requirements have been unveiled

The release of the long-awaited new installment in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series is approaching and we now know more about the game thanks to the video that was shown a couple of days ago at E3 2021. The expectation that the game has created already makes it one of the most anticipated games right now, even though the release is schedule for April 28, 2022. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will take players back to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone to explore a vast open-world. As they progress through an epic storyline, they will have to do their best to survive in what's probably the most dangerous place in the world, full of enemies, radiactive hazards, and other threats. 

The graphics of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 look amazing in the gameplay trailer, but it also allows us to discover some of the features in the game, like the detector that we will need to use to move through the swamps in the game, some of the weapons that we will have to use to keep ourselvs safe, or even some nasty mutants. But this reveal has also brought an important piece of information that all those that are eagerly waiting to try S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 should keep in mind ahead of the release. You can check the minimum and recommended system requirements for the game right below:

Minimum requirements

• OS: Windows 10
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X | Intel Core i5-7600K
• Memory: 8GB RAM
• Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
• Storage: 150GB

Recommended specifications

• OS: Windows 10
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | Intel Core i7-9700K

As you can notice, the use of a SSD unit with at least 150GB free is not an option but a requirement to play the game.  S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 seems to be quite demanding on when it comes to your GPU but we can consider that a bit more normal if we take into account the quality of the graphics that the game seems to have. Whatever the case is, you still have more than enough time to upgrade your PC in order to be able to enjoy the game.
