Expert Verified By

Unreal Engine 5 Pushing Series S To Limits!

Story Highlight
  • Stalker 2 will finally be released later this year.
  • Regarding its performance, the team has confirmed that they are working to optimize the title for Xbox Series S to achieve better results.
  • It is currently running at about 25FPS, but a 60FPS mode will be provided on the Xbox Series X.

Stalker 2 has been in development for many years. Finally, after many delays, the game is set to be released later this year and is currently one of the most anticipated titles of late 2024.

While talking about Stalker 2 running on different platforms, the developers have confirmed that the game doesn’t even run at 30FPS on Xbox Series S in its current state.

Why it matters: The Xbox Series S is currently the most difficult console for developers to work with, and GSC Game World’s experience shows yet another example of its limitations.

Stalker 2 Is Using Unreal Engine 5 For Next-Gen Visuals

During a recent interview with Wccftech, Lead Producer Slava Lukyanenka discussed multiple aspects of the development, including the hurdles the team faced during the optimization process.

While replying to one of the questions about the Xbox Series S, the lead producer stated that the team is confident it can still achieve solid results with enough hard work and effort.

He says the team has two modes for Xbox Series X: performance mode, which runs at 60 FPS, and quality mode, which runs at 30 FPS but offers high resolution. The team plans to combine both to achieve similar results in Series S.

Not yet. So far, we have it at 25ish FPS on the Xbox Series S, but we still have space to optimize.

-Slava Lukyanenka

While the Xbox Series S currently falls short of the 30FPS target, the developers are hopeful about reaching a solid frame rate before the release.

Overall, Game Science is quite confident. After years of hard work, the studio seems ready to release Stalker 2, with no more delays expected. The game is finally arriving in November, so the team is working diligently to make final optimizations for the Xbox Series S.

Because Stalker 2 is built using Unreal Engine 5, the Xbox Series S will be pushed to its limits. PC will remain the best platform for this game, but GSC Game World is doing everything it can to provide an equally compelling experience on consoles.
