Downloadable now across Xbox Series X/S and PC, this new Stalker 2 update, which is version 1.1.4, isn’t a very vast one. The patch only comes with a few specific resolutions that are meant to “fix issues with shaders compilation, some memory leaks, crashes, and specific performance degradation issues.” Although this new Stalker 2 update isn’t that big, GSC Game World notes that another patch is planned to go live shortly and will continue to fix issues that players have been coming across. As such, this subsequent update could drop at any point in the coming days.
