Xbox owners were left disappointed as STALKER 2, which is a day one release on Game Pass, struggled to perform on the Series X.

Given that we're less than a week out from the game's launch, and Stalker 2's world is rather vast, we'd assume these easter eggs merely scratch the surface of what GSC Game World has packed into its open world title. These little nods are awesome to see, and we can't wait to come across what else folks find!

Yes, it's been confirmed that Stalker 2 will be available on Xbox Game Pass – more specifically, the sequel will be available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers on launch day (20th November 2024).

Microsoft added the remastered Spyro trilogy to Game Pass earlier in November, letting subscribers play as the iconic purple dragon. Now, Microsoft is taking subscribers back to the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in the sequel to the award-winning Stalker.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl launched on November 20 after years of development, and it seems to be off to a solid start. Developer GSC Game World announced that the first-person survival game has cleared 1 million copies sold across PC and Xbox, but that doesn't tell the entire story of how many people have played it.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate adds a highly anticipated day-one open-world game just as two other titles make their way to XGP Standard.

Stalker 2 will be launched worldwide on November 20, 2024. As an Xbox exclusive, the title will only be available for Xbox Series X/S and PC gamers, not on PlayStation 5. The game is already available for pre-order on the Epic Games Store, Steam Store, Microsoft Store, and GOG Store.
