Xbox Series X has picked up another great exclusive game, or more specifically another great and upcoming game has been confirmed as an Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S console exclusive. Last July, developer GSC Game World finally unveiled Stalker 2 during the Xbox Games Showcase. At the time, the game was announced for PC and Xbox Series X / Xbox Series S, but it was unclear whether the game would be for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S console only. That said, it seems that it will be.
Over on Twitter, a developer of GSC Game World confirmed that the game is only coming to PC and Xbox Series X when a fan asks it about a PS5 version of the game. At this time, it is unclear whether this console exclusivity is permanent or timely. Usually third-party exclusives are like timing rather than permanent, but at the moment this detail of exclusivity has not been directly confirmed.
Unfortunately, although the developer provided some concrete details on the platform, they did not provide anything about a release date, which means the game is still without a release date. In fact, it currently does not even have a release window.

While PS5 may not get Stalker 2, at least not at launch, it does have its own big exclusive in the offing, and by most measures, the better range of exclusive titles, which include Horizon Forbidden West, Final Fantasy 16, Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart, and a new God of war. Compared to some of these titles, Stalker 2 may not seem very substantial, but the first game is not only a cult classic, but it’s a long-awaited sequel and is more notable than many of the exclusives coming from Xbox Game Studios.
