If you thought you were ready for Stalker 2, you might want to double-check because multiple Xbox Series X|S users are now reporting a new patch has been rolled out. Yes, we're talking about a completely new one!

Following yesterday's update which was around 139GB, this latest update is apparently prompting anyone with the game preinstalled to now download a 36GB update. Multiple users seem to be reporting this on Reddit and social media.

Again, there's been no official update about this latest patch from GSC Game World, but many are thinking it's probably a day one patch to iron out some bugs and various other issues.

As we've previously mentioned, large updates before the launch of select games have become quite common during the Xbox Series X|S generation, but Stalker 2 might be setting new records as it's already rolled out a few 100GB plus downloads and additional patches in between.
