S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will have two graphics modes when it hits Xbox Series X|S and Game Pass
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 launches on Xbox Game Pass early next year, and the developer has revealed that two graphics modes will be available on Xbox Series X|S.
While we still don't have a specific Xbox Series X|S release date for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, it's slated to launch into Xbox Game Pass some time in Q1 2024. Developer GSC Game World has dropped a fresh trailer for the upcoming open-world FPS, and has also confirmed that two graphics modes will be available on Xbox Series X|S.
In a recent interview with Gamersky, GSC Game World CEO Evgeniy Grygorovych, Executive Producer Mariia Grygorovych, and Marketing Producer Vladyslav Novikov discussed the upcoming S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. At one point, the trio revealed that the team is targeting framerates of 60fps on Xbox Series X|S, but two graphics modes will be available.
"The XSX console version of the game has two graphics modes for players to choose from: Performance and Quality, and we aim to achieve a frame rate of 60 fps in Performance mode," GSC said. "As for the resolution corresponding to this frame rate, we are still working on the optimization of the game, and the final graphics specifications are still uncertain."
GSC says that PC requirements are still being worked out, but it's aiming to use the GTX 1060 as a minimum spec. At the moment, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is still in a beta state, and the PC specifications will be revealed closer to launch, which sounds like is still on track for Q1 2024, as the team is "rushing to polish the product." A store listing from one distributer had suggested that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was initially going to launch this month, but GSC Game World pushed the release date into next year back in August.
"It's going to take a while for the game to be polished, and we want to get our game out to the highest caliber as soon as possible, but due to the size and complexity of the open world, there are thousands of details that can go wrong, and we're rushing to polish the product," GSC says. "Time is never running out for game developers, and it's hard to say how far we are from actually "finishing" the game."
Other interesting nuggets revealed during the interview reveal that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will have four different endings, which will depend on the choices you make when working through the non-linear main story. GSC says the main story alone has around 40 hours of content, so let's hope there aren't any S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl achievements related to reaching all four!
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is on our huge list of games coming to Game Pass and PC Game Pass in the next year or so. With The Game Awards just around the corner, we're hopeful that some more information will be announced during the show.
Tendo em conta a omissão da Series S, o mais provável é ter apenas um modo (Unreal Engine 5).
