PlayStation Plus Just Quietly Added The Stalker Trilogy, Three Uniquely Brutal Post-Apocalyptic Shooters
Briefly

Launching in 2024, Stalker: Legends of the Zone Trilogy brings back the original three Stalker games, enhancing them for modern consoles while maintaining their challenging gameplay. Set in a post-apocalyptic Chornobyl, inspired by Tarkovsky's film and Roadside Picnic novel, the series combines survival horror elements with intense combat and resource management. The remastering makes these beloved titles accessible for new audiences, while long-time fans can appreciate the enduring charm of their complex, hostile landscapes and faction-driven narratives.
When launched in 2024, it was the first game in its series in 15 years, but despite what its name might suggest, it was actually the fourth entry.
Stalker: Legends of the Zone Trilogy collects all three Stalker first-person shooter games - Shadow of Chornobyl, Clear Skies, and Call of Pripyat - into one package.
It's hard to describe what makes the original Stalker games so great without also making them sound a little miserable, which they are.
The series takes place in a fictionalized version of Chornobyl, the site of an infamous nuclear power plant meltdown in the real world.
