The roadmap will be segmented into quarterly updates, with detailed patch notes provided to ensure players are kept in the loop about which updates will go live.

Here's what fans can look forward to in the upcoming updates:
- Beta Mod SDK Kit
- A-Life/AI Updates
- Mutant Loot
- Shader Compilation Skip
- Player Stash Window Increase
- Wide Screen Aspect Ratio Support
- 2 New Weapons

Beta Mod SDK Kit, A-Life Updates, and More
GSC Gameworld has outlined two major focuses for the upcoming updates: the Beta Mod SDK Kit and enhancements to the A-Life system. A closed beta with mod makers will precede the release of the ModKit, allowing for thorough testing. The developers also plan to integrate Mod.io and Steam Workshop, enhancing the modding experience.
The A-Life system, a core component of STALKER 2's gameplay, will receive further updates to improve NPC AI and simulation. Building on last year's efforts, which culminated in a substantial 110 GB Christmas patch, the developers will introduce "persistent A-Life improvements" and "smarter human combat; better cover/flanking use, limited grenades."
In addition to these major updates, the game will see enhancements in mutant behavior, with mutants now consuming corpses and reacting to threats. Other planned updates include the introduction of mutant loot, the ability to skip shader compilation, an expanded player stash window, support for wide screen aspect ratios, two new weapons, and ongoing efforts to stabilize and optimize the game.
Additionally, a next-gen update for the original STALKER trilogy is on the horizon. More details about these updates will be shared as their release dates approach. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available on Xbox Series X|S and PC. To stay informed about the latest developments, be sure to check out our article below!
