Throughout all the delays, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and other setbacks, GSC Game World’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is finally upon us. It’s out in just a few hours on PC and Xbox Series X/S alongside Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. In the meantime, a new launch trailer is available, teasing the many sights, wonders, and horrors.
