S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is Coming to Xbox Series X - Xbox Wire
The debut trailer of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is out, and we are happy to share this moment with our players and fans all around the world. We sincerely hope you were both delighted and surprised during the Xbox Game Showcase, as that was the ultimate goal that we aimed for. From the very beginning of...

Even better, the original creator of the A-Life system and pretty much the guy who's responsible for most of the sandbox elements of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (Dmitriy Yassenev) is also back at GSC.

Yeah, that's why I decided to put "Microsoft" and not "Xbox" on the title.

So, it will forever be an Xbox + PC exclusive (not Microsoft, because believe it or not, Microsoft does not own the PC platform).
Maybe it really is, and these guys will just never bother with Playstation. That's very likely and fine. The first game never came to Playstation either.
On the other hand, long term timed exclusivity deals do exist.
Remember Cuphead?

Rise was announced 6/9/2014
Gamescom 2014: Rise of the Tomb Raider Is a Timed Exclusive on Xbox - IGN
Head of Xbox Phil Spencer chatted about the exclusivity deal regarding Lara Croft's next adventure game, shedding new light on the situation.www.ign.com
This article is dated 8/13/2014
Rise Of The Tomb Raider released 11/10/2015
That's a year and three months of knowing Tomb Raider was timed exclusive before its release date.
The exclusivity was only confirmed as timed after pressure on Phil Spencer.
When the game was announced in 2014, the trailer only said "Exclusively on Xbox".

"Never" is much longer than 3 years.

We knew Tomb Raider was timed over a year before its release. GSC already told you Stalker 2 is releasing only on Xbox consoles through social media. That's where it stands until proven otherwise.

And Cuphead devs said it would never come out on PS4. Both social media and interviews.
And yet, I could play it on my PS4 this summer.

After 3 years Microsoft got all they needed out of a game. Its used up and has expended most if not all its earning value and public attention. These aren't nintendo games. A game by then isn't even worth $20 releasing 3 years later. If Stalker 2 is another "well its coming 3 year later" then that's a win for Microsoft easily.

People change their minds all the time. Its good to be flexible because sometimes your first decision isn't always your best. After three years it don't matter anymore.

Mate It's a timed exclusive. No point trying to pretend or hope for otherwise

there are games on Xbox that support mods already so this might be another one
we have got an official pr statement vs your gut feeling

From a PR guy who's role is just to repeat what's allowed to be said at this point in time since the game was first announced
You'd think you lot would learn already

What's more reliable than my words or a PR guy who's just repeating what he's told is precedence, and Microsoft has provided you with dozens of examples with their console launch exclusives

Current evidence points to Microsoft part-funding the game, placing it in the second-party tier. So, PS5 will get their STALKER 2 port about the same time they get their Sunset Overdrive port if that's the case. Stay coping.

There's litterally no evidence of that, like, at all.

Wow - you read the article, followed the chain of tweets, blog posts, LinkedIn profiles, reddit posts, and theory-craft posted by several online industry speculators, and came to your conclusion, in the sub-two minutes between my post and your reply? Impressive. I'll leave you be; you've got console war-drums to beat, and I'm only wasting your time.

You just sent me a link to the article that this OP is based on and tell me current evidnce point it to being a sunset overdrive situation.. Fuck out of here with your pseudo-intellectual bullshit.
Remind me when did you use this exact same rhetoric again? Oh right, for playstations backwards compatibility, which you were painfully wrong on that too
It was announced as a console launch exclusive, and like basically all console launch exclusives, they get a playstation port.

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
I just got INTO Metro and loving it.
STALKER is game series that came before even Metro, yes? I need to take look at games.
I thought they already have like 2 or 3 other sequels to STALKER though?

The Metro franchise has been created by several ex-GSC devs after they left the company shortly before the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game was finished.
People often compare the two series, but IMO they're quite different. If anything, Metro plays and feels more like a bit less linear Half-Life while S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is more of an FPS/RPG hybrid.
Played both series multiple times, and while S.T.A.L.K.E.R. can still be a bit buggy and has a rather steep learning curve I'd say it's the better experience overall.

I didn't know that, I stand corrected. I think it would be good for people who absolutely do not want to use the GamePass launcher (you can launch PC gamepass games without the launcher but you need some kind of background service running).
But to be honest the GP launcher on PC isn't too bad, far better than previous attempts at a PC launcher.
I thought this was already known.
I must just tell myself X game is full exclusive when its announced that way (console exclusive) until further notice.
Learning some of the games from the Series X showcase are coming to PS5 recently was a surprise.

are you seriously asking if some random bloke on internet (you) is more reliable source than actual pr person working at this studio?

Stalker 2 has been basically said to be a Microsoftconsole exclusive since the announcement, nothing has yet to change, if it was coming to the PS5 you'd think we'd hear about it by now.

For everyone who thinks the game is far off release due to the lack of 'proper' gameplay videos:
A quote from the now famous Russian journalist Anton Logvinov (the guy who first leaked the PC release of Horizon Zero Dawn):
Also, Sergiy mentioned that he'll show more gameplay 4-5 months before release. Quoting:
Maybe their partnership with Microsoft will change that a bit, don't know about that. The motto of the development team was "less talking, more work".

If this comes anywhere close to the original games, we're in for a treat. It's been ages.

So either you're trolling, or you still didn't read the OP's article. Since you want to crawl back to the backwards compatibility thread where you were wrong - again - I'll reiterate the lesson you still haven't learned: you didn't read anything in that thread, either. This is clearly a pattern for you. You've got a habit of just plugging your ears and screaming "I'm right! I'm right!" post after post. Learn to discuss with people, instead of screaming at them.You just sent me a link to the article that this OP is based on and tell me current evidnce point it to being a sunset overdrive situation..

But like I said: you're busy, and I'm wasting your time. Keep beating that drum, Sony Solider - you've got a console-war to win.

Once again, drop your pesduo intellectual bullshit. How ever much time you pretend to spend scouring the internet is irrelevent when the end result is your're still wrong
It's a tweet from a PR guy repeating public info. That's it.
Oh and you should look in the mirror. I wasn't the one that went into fanboy defense mode. That was you mate.

What about 2 years, like PS5 has with some games? Does that count as forever too?
