STALKER: Legends Of The Zone Trilogy – Enhanced Edition Launching Next Week on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC

Exciting Release Announcement: STALKER: Legends of the Zone Trilogy – Enhanced Edition

GSC Game World has unveiled an exhilarating update: the STALKER: Legends of the Zone Trilogy – Enhanced Edition. This enhanced compilation of the initial three STALKER titles, originally launched on PS4 and Xbox One, is set to arrive on modern consoles, specifically the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on May 20, 2025.

Enhanced Visual Features for a Next-Gen Experience

The revamped version introduces a range of graphical enhancements that significantly elevate the gaming experience. Players can expect improved lighting effects, including stunning godrays, enhanced screen space reflections, as well as upscaled textures and detailed environments. To further enrich storytelling, cutscenes have been pre-rendered in glorious 4K, providing a cinematic feel.

However, it’s crucial for console players to understand that the quality of these graphics will depend on the chosen graphics mode.

Graphics Modes Breakdown

Owners of the PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X will have the flexibility to select from four distinct graphics modes:

Quality: 4K resolution at 30fps
Balanced: 4K resolution at 40fps
Performance: 4K resolution at 60fps
Ultra Performance: 2K resolution at 120fps

In contrast, Xbox Series S players will have access to Quality, Balanced, and Performance modes, though it’s noteworthy that none of these modes support 4K gameplay:

Quality: 2K resolution at 30fps
Balanced: 2K resolution at 40fps
Performance: 1080p resolution at 60fps

PC Gameplay Advantages

Unlike console players, PC gamers can tailor their graphical experience according to their specific hardware capabilities. While they enjoy greater flexibility in adjusting settings, the Enhanced Edition promises optimizations, including support for the Steam Deck and cloud saves, ensuring a smoother gaming experience.

Modding and Control Options

This latest edition also brings exciting features for console users, such as keyboard and mouse support, allowing gamers to enjoy more precise controls. Furthermore, GSC Game World has confirmed that both PS5 and Xbox Series versions will support Mod.io, opening the door for community-driven modifications that were previously exclusive to PC.

Free Upgrade for Existing Owners

One of the most enticing aspects of this Enhanced Edition is the promise of a complimentary upgrade for players who have already bought any of the remastered titles in the STALKER: Legends of the Zone Trilogy. This means that fans can experience the latest enhancements without any additional costs.
