Earlier this month the PC requirements for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl were released on the game’s Steam page. However, it would seem that those PC requirements have been changed ever so slightly, as GSC Game World provided new PC requirements for those looking to play the game at the low and medium range of things, with new requirements for playing at the much higher resolutions of 1440p and 4K. As such, we’ve updated the PC requirements for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl as you can see below.
These updated requirements demand a bit more power than before, with the new requirements for the high and epic PC requirements showing up at the 32GB memory requirement. So much for only needing 16GB anymore, am I right?
In addition to the new requirements, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl also supports Nvidia’s DLSS 3 (3.7) with Frame Generation, along with AMD’s FSR 3.1 with Fram Generation and Intel’s XeSS. Just in case you wanted to know about those.
