We're getting closer and closer to the arrival of Stalker 2 on Xbox Game Pass this November, and following our recent hands on with the title at Summer Game Fest a couple of months ago, we've been eager to get back to it ever since!
It sounds like there's going to be plenty to enjoy when it arrives in a couple of months' time, as lead producer Slava Lukyanenka told TheGamer this week that he expects players to take anywhere between 25 and 40 hours to beat it.
"To beat the game, you would need 25 to 40 hours. I don't know the precise number, because the way we play the game is different than the players [...] But the world is huge. It’s 64 square kilometres."
Beyond this, PR manager Zakhar Bocharov also used the interview to heavily praise GSC Game World's dealings with Microsoft in the lead up to launch, stating that Phil Spencer and his team have been "spectacular" and extremely "supportive" along the way, even helping out in situations where they weren't necessarily expected to.
So, assuming there are no more delays, Stalker 2 is now scheduled to arrive for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on November 20th, and as mentioned it'll be available day one on Xbox Game Pass. Hopefully not long to go now!

Sounds like a decent play length for me not every game needs to be 100+ hours of gameplay!
I’m looking forward to this, think it will be one of the better games of the year end
Really hope this game hits the spot and is critical acclaimed, I’m hoping for a 90 plus on meta.
For the studio, for Xbox and for gamepass.
Sounds good to me, less is often more imo. I'd rather play a tight 15 - 20 hour game than a rambling, inconsistent or repetitive 40+ hour one. Looking forward to this. Hoping day 1 performance is solid.
Dont f this up xbox...
@OldGamer999 Very optimistic...I would be happy if this ended on 83 on meta....I think it will finish anywhere between 79-84
@StylesT
I’m not saying it will end up a 90 plus meta.
I’m just hoping it does for all.
Meanwhile, I'm still finding all the new fish recipes on NMS. 😂 That should keepe busy until it hits GP.
