STALKER 2 PS5

GSC Game World has revealed that the first post-launch content update for STALKER 2 following the release of the PS5 version drops tomorrow, 16th December 2025.

This is a fairly substantial addition to the game, as it introduces an entirely new region to the game along with eight new quests promising hours of gameplay, seven new locations, and six extra characters to interact with. On top of all of that, the patch will add a new hub area in the Burnt Forest, including traders and a place to sleep.

That’s where Banzai steps in, a radio enthusiast, who also joined the investigation, but something went wrong."

Here's a trailer showcasing the new quests:
