GSC Game World launched S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Enhanced Edition on Steam, GOG, Epic, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. This release offers enhanced visuals, optimizations, mod support, and other improvements for these three classic titles.

Some of the new and updated visuals across all three titles are things like godrays, screen space reflections, and global illumination. Textures and 3D models for things like NPCs, weapons, and environments have been improved. There are also advanced shaders for water and wetness effects. Skyboxes were also updated while cinematics were upscaled to 4K resolution.

The console versions have a few different quality and performance modes. There is also keyboard and mouse support on consoles. Plus, there is mod.io integration on consoles allowing for cross-platform mod creation and sharing. Those on PC have Steam Deck optimizations, Steam Workshop support for mods, cloud saves, and gamepad support.

There are some free upgrades available to this new Enhanced Edition for those that own some of the older titles. Read on for more details. For additional screenshots, check out our article about this release that went up just last week.

Players who own the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy on Xbox Series X/S or PS5 will receive the Enhanced Edition of the corresponding games for free.

About S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy

Experience the acclaimed FPS survival classics, now enhanced for modern platforms. Explore the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, take on the roles of legendary stalkers, and navigate radioactive wastelands filled with anomalies, mutants, and mysteries. With locations inspired by the real-life Chornobyl area, including Prypiat and the Nuclear Station, the trilogy offers a haunting blend of Eastern European atmosphere and dark science-fiction.
Based on what I can see in the Steam reviews for basically each title in this Enhanced Edition, there are some major issues with this release. Apparently the biggest issue people mention are extremely blurry visuals. There are also issues with settings not being saved after a restart, the inability to bind actions to extra mouse buttons, and a lack of graphical options such as DLSS or DLAA. When it comes to the blurry visuals, players believe that the game is being upscaled at all times from a much lower resolution than what is set in the settings.

Given some of the issues, especially the excessive blur one, you may want to hold off on playing these until the issues are resolved. Fortunately, the non-Enhanced Editions of each game are still available, at least on PC.
