After all, different developers follow different launch schedules, and that can also differ with the platform in question. Usually, some games tend to have separate schedules for PC and consoles. For STALKER 2 Heart of Chernobyl, there won’t be any such case. The game is going to be available on all applicable platforms at the same time.

STALKER 2 Heart of Chernobyl release timings

Here are the release timings of STALKER 2 Heart of Chernobyl in different regions of the world. Note that the release date in some regions will be November 21 (mentioned by a * besides the applicable timings).

  • Auckland: 5 a.m. NZDT*

Do note that while STALKER 2 Heart of Chernobyl is available in different editions, there’s no early access. In simpler words, getting a Premium version won’t allow you to play earlier than the rest. It will get you some excellent in-game benefits, however, which will be incredibly beneficial for your in-game journey.

Additionally, there won’t be any New Zealand method as well, which often allows you to play a game earlier than its release in a specific region. That method works with games that are released at midnight in a given region. That privilege won’t be there for Xbox users this time around, so they’re in the same boat as PC users.
