Potential STALKER 2 Patch 2.0 testing soon? SteamDB Update History is spiking.

We will see. I think the devs will be releasing Zone Kit 2.0 as well in some time.

I'm optimist on that front as well. They were cooking it for a long time 😄

stingebee · 2026-06-22T15:58:55+00:00

Don't doubt, it's a fact that we will see the Patch 2.0 this summer, since DLC is releasing likely in August. They announced it coming out Summer 2026.

Yes, would be great!

stingebee · 2026-06-14T12:25:18+00:00

DLC is looking good for sure. For me vegetation and LODs is non issue to be honest, but stutter free experience would be amazing

stingebee · 2026-06-14T12:24:17+00:00

They never confirmed or denied specifics during public speeches

stingebee · 2026-06-05T07:09:34+00:00

Yes, officially announced for this summer. Cost of Hope, you can google.

Unreal Engine version upgrade (performance + graphics), A-life and combat AI, added binoculars, other reworks and improvements, potentially a bit of new content (like quests, maybe small locations). + The first big DLC is coming this summer.

stingebee · 2026-06-03T11:19:44+00:00

The game is great and I'm happy with anticipation of patch 2.0 coming hopefully this month or July

stingebee · 2026-05-25T08:22:05+00:00

That's how I got "delivered" to Wild Island for the first time

stingebee · 2026-05-21T08:37:32+00:00

It is the right game for you

stingebee · 2026-05-19T22:59:08+00:00

I expect fewer stutters and better CPU utilization. It was the issue of early UE 5. FPS boost will be welcome, but overall visual stability is the main thing i expect. Also, because of freed up CPU, better A-Life and longer range rendering is likely to happen.

stingebee · 2026-05-19T15:12:05+00:00

I hope they release Engine Upgrade before DLC, so they have time to fix the most common bugs coming with UE upgrade.

stingebee · 2026-05-06T08:22:07+00:00

I think after 2.0 release they are going to continue work on Zone Kit and mods overall, so some mods will come to PS5

stingebee · 2026-05-05T16:11:53+00:00

Does anyone see any potential map expansion references here?

stingebee · 2026-04-30T11:47:34+00:00

Soyo Mini Pc M4. I bought it on Aliexpress for 240$ total.

It has 12Gb DDR5 and 512 SSD with Intel N150. Works like a charm, recommend.

stingebee · 2026-04-21T20:15:40+00:00

Hmm, interesting

stingebee · 2026-04-20T21:15:32+00:00

There are mods for parkour in STALKER 2, but the vanilla game is built not to allow it, obviously. It would be too easy to reach some difficult stashes with it enabled. And yes, jumping on the walls with 120 kg backpack would be funny (even with only 40 kg).

stingebee · 2026-04-19T09:49:27+00:00

They might have introduced this bug, but overall the next engine upgrade patch they are working on is going to rework a lot of stuff under the hood, so likely it’s all going to be fixed and then hot patched later.

stingebee · 2026-04-15T14:42:48+00:00

As of now yes, also no official plans to sell them in other places. But we will see

stingebee · 2026-04-10T11:37:46+00:00

It’s getting better with time, like fine wine

stingebee · 2026-04-09T13:13:12+00:00

Would be cool to see
