Are you planning on playing Stalker 2 this coming week? Before diving into the game, you will want to check if your PC is up to the task. Here is a look at what you’ll need to run the game smoothly starting with PC requirements.
Let’s talk about the storage first, because you need to make sure you’ve got plenty of space. Stalker 2 needs around 160GB on an SSD. If you want to play this game, then we recommend that it’s time to clear out those old games you’ve been ignoring for months and make some room.
Additionally, you will need at least 16GB of RAM just to get the game running, and 32GB if you’re planning to play at higher settings. Here we break down the official system requirements for various performance levels:
PC System Requirements
| Graphic | LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH | EPIC |
| Resolution Target FPS | 1080p 30FPS | 1080p 60FPS | 1440p 60FPS | 2160p 60+FPS |
| CPU | Intel Core i7-7700K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X | Intel Core i7-9700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | Intel Core i7-11700 or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X | Intel Core i7-13700KF or AMD Ryzen 7 7700X |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB, or Intel Arc A750 | Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super / RTX 4060 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti / RTX 4070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT | Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX |
| RAM | 16GB Dual Channel | 16GB Dual Channel | 32GB Dual Channel | 32GB Dual Channel |
| Storage | 160GB SSD | 160GB SSD | 160GB SSD | 160GB SSD |
| OS | Windows 10 x64 or Windows 11 x64 | Windows 10 x64 or Windows 11 x64 | Windows 10 x64 or Windows 11 x64 | Windows 10 x64 or Windows 11 x64 |
For the high settings, you will need a 32GB RAM at least if you want to play on 1440p resolution. This is how the developers recommend playing for the best experience. One step ahead are the Epic settings – but let us remind you that they are for top-tier gaming PCs only.
Looking at the requirements, we can see that Stalker 2 is a pretty demanding game, but that’s no surprise. If your PC doesn’t meet the specs, you might want to upgrade, especially your RAM and storage before the game drops next week.
Keep in mind that these are the official specs, but actual performance may vary. It’s a good idea to have a bit more power than the minimum, just to make sure the game runs smoothly at your chosen resolution and framerate.
