S.t.a.l.k.e.r. 2 textures9/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It's reasonable for new games to have pretty large file sizes, especially when ambitious developers seek to harness the capabilities of these next-gen consoles and graphics cards. Call of Duty: Vanguard made waves prior to its release in part due to its file size, and even some older games have rivaled STALKER 2's requirements, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare clocking in at over 200 GB, and Quantum Break nearly matching STALKER 2 at 178GB. While one game at this size isn't much of a problem for players, unfortunately, it's not the only one. That being said, the Xbox version seems to be going in the wrong direction, as the PC version is still described as taking up 150 GB. Further optimization of the game could result in a smaller download size when it actually launches, and the developer has previously noted that the Steam PC version's specs aren't finalized and could be subject to change. It's worth pointing out that with the game still several months out, it's possible that STALKER 2's file size could change again or improve. ![]() While it's possible to expand the storage space of an Xbox Series console, doing so can be expensive and isn't necessarily accessible for everyone. It's worse for players with Xbox Series S, as the console launched with about half the storage space, with a 512 GB SSD. While the Xbox Series X sports a 1 TB hard drive inherently, this will still take up nearly a fifth of the drive all on its own. The Xbox page for STALKER 2 has updated information on the game's requirements, now revealing that the game will require a stunning 180 GB of hard drive space. RELATED: Microsoft Flight Simulator Has Massive File Size on Xbox Series X While some fans initially balked at the concept of the game requiring 150 GB in storage space, it seems players will now need to make even more room for the game. While the game is still several months off from its planned release date, STALKER 2 initially revealed its file size to be quite massive back at E3 2021. That sequel is now well on its way in the form of STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl, but fans may need to clean out their Xbox Series X/S consoles' storage in order to actually play it. With the original title premiering way back in 2007, STALKER fans have been waiting for a long time for a mainline sequel. ![]()
