So, get this. GSC Game World just dropped some news—like, out of nowhere—and it’s all about the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy. Enhanced Edition, no less. Apparently, it’s hitting the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PCs. Yeah, and it’s not just the same old, same old. They’ve jazzed it up with visual upgrades and all that fancy next-gen stuff. Shadows of Chornobyl, Clear Sky, Call of Prypiat—you get the picture.
Surprise! Free PS5 Upgrade for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Here’s the kicker: if you already bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on PS5, you’re getting this shiny Enhanced Edition for free. No strings attached. Crazy, right? But if you’re new to this whole world, you can snag the whole bundle for $39.99—or maybe just dip your toes in with a single game for $19.99. Choices, choices…
Okay, so here’s the scoop on what’s actually getting upgraded on the PS5:
Visual Wonders?
- Lighting that’s now all about godrays and reflections—yeah, like the sun is actually doing magic with its light.
- Textures that make NPCs and stuff look like they’ve popped out of a dream.
- Water that flows… uh, wetly? (Yeah, if that makes sense.)
- Stunning 4K cinematics—because why not?
Console Magic Tricks & Mods
- Xbox Series X and PS5 settings from Quality to Ultra Performance. FPS levels all over the place.
- Xbox Series S has its own vibe—think native 2K and other tech speak.
- Got a keyboard? Mouse? Use them on PS5 and Xbox Series.
- Mods? You bet. Mod.io lets you create and share—because sharing is caring, or something.
So yes, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Trilogy first came out on PS4 way back in March 2024. Fast forward to now, and Taiwan’s rating board kinda spilled the beans about this PS5 version before the official word hit. Classic leak style.
Mark your calendars, though! Enhanced Edition drops on PS5 come May 20. And for those lucky folks with PS Plus Extra or Premium, it’s in the game catalog for May 2025. So, Extra and Premium folks get to stroll through the Zone like it’s no big deal.
