Glad PlayStation fans finally get to experience the Zone, though I hope they polish up those technical hiccups before the port drops. The DualSense tweaks sound sweet, but honestly, the real win here is seeing GSC’s passion survive such a brutal dev process.
Nice to see S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 expanding to PlayStation—those DualSense features should really amp up the immersion in the Zone. Also, major respect to GSC for pushing through such a tough development cycle and still delivering a hit.
