Are you looking forward to playing Stalker ii: Heart of Chernobyl in the spring? If you want to play the Xbox Serial Ten/South version, and so you might want to gratuitous up some hard drive space — it looks similar the shooter has a daunting download size.

Looking at Stalker 2 on the Microsoft Store (as spotted by The Gamer), ane can meet a whopping 180 GB listed nether the "more than" tab. That is an "approximate size," to be fair, only it's a big number still. Monster-sized updates are unfortunately common nowadays, but considering the Series S only has 512 GB of storage to begin with, that's a significant percentage of the hard bulldoze. Here'south hoping the concluding file size shrinks a bit earlier launch.

Speaking of, Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl releases on Apr 28, 2022. It's coming to PC and Xbox Series X/S. It will be the first time the series has been playable on panel, and it'll be bachelor on day 1 on Xbox Game Pass. Pre-orders include an extra weapon skin, costume, and multiplayer badge, plus some extra songs for when the characters are gathered around the campfire. The sequel picks up correct where the original Stalker left off, continuing the horror-shooter story in the irradiated Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
