Stalker 2: Release Date, Release Times & Download Size On Xbox Game Pass

After a bunch of delays, Stalker 2 is turning out to be one of the most anticipated Xbox Game Pass titles for the end of 2024 – and the good news is that its release date is right around the corner!

So, ahead of that launch, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know about Stalker 2 and its Xbox Game Pass release. This is going to be a huge experience on Xbox and PC, so it’s probably worth clearing your calendar — and a big chunk of SSD space — before getting stuck in.

Here’s everything you need to know about Stalker 2 on Xbox Game Pass:

Stalker 2: Release Date On Xbox

Stalker 2 launches for Xbox Series X|S and PC on November 20th, 2024.

There’s no form of early access with this title – all versions of the game arrive on that date.

Stalker 2: Xbox Series X|S Release Times

Stalker 2 will go live at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm GMT on November 20th.

The team has also provided a global release times map, which we’ve included down below.

Stalker 2: Download Size For Xbox Series X|S

Stalker 2 is a big install on Xbox consoles – the game’s download size is roughly 146GB on both Xbox Series X and S.

This is almost half of the usable space on a base Xbox Series S, so it’s definitely worth making sure you have plenty of room on your SSD before attempting to play Stalker 2.

Is Stalker 2 On Xbox Game Pass?

Yes, Stalker 2 is included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on day one! Subscribers can access the standard edition of the game on November 20th.

There are also ‘Deluxe‘ and ‘Ultimate‘ editions of Stalker 2 on the Xbox Store, but there’s no Xbox Game Pass upgrade path to either of these versions as of yet.

Stalker 2 is not coming to Xbox Game Pass Core or Xbox Game Pass Standard either – you have to be subscribed to Ultimate to access the game on Xbox.

Stalker 2: Early Reviews / Previews For Xbox

As things stand, Stalker 2 reviews aren’t out yet, so we’ll have to wait a little longer for some official thoughts on the final version of the game. The embargo time for Stalker 2 reviews has not been publicly announced.

However, we have had multiple rounds of Stalker 2 previews in recent months – including our own hands-on impressions here at Pure Xbox. We’ll include some links to those pre-release thoughts down below.
