Space Needed for Stalker 2 Modding

The launch of Stalker 2’s significant 1.5 patch introduces a modding toolkit that requires an astonishing 700 GB of storage to accommodate all its assets. Initially, the request for hard drive space sent shockwaves through the gaming community, but further inspection revealed a more manageable requirement of 471 GB for the download.

“Shape the Zone in Your Way with the Stalker 2 Zone Kit,” GSC Game World encourages, indicating the extensive modifications players can explore.

This toolkit not only facilitates modding but also allows players to create animations, mechanics, and much more within the Stalker 2 universe.

For context, Stalker 2 itself only requires 160 GB of space compared to Starfield’s 20 GB for its creation kit—making Stalker’s modding tools exceptionally large in comparison. This vast size is attributed to GSC’s decision to provide uncompressed in-game assets for modders, expanding creative possibilities.

GSC has mentioned that this is just Phase 1 of the toolkit, hinting that future updates may optimize storage requirements further. In the meantime, gamers eager to explore the expansive capabilities of the Stalker 2 Zone Kit should ensure they have ample storage space ready.
