Cost of Hope for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is announced for summer 2026 on PS5 , but I couldn’t find any confirmed pre-order date yet. The current reports only say it will launch on PS5 and PS5 Pro in summer 2026, with no standalone price or pre-order window announced so far.

What’s confirmed

  • The expansion is titled S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope and is planned for summer 2026.
  • It will release on PS5 and PS5 Pro at the same time as PC and Xbox platforms.
  • Coverage so far says a standalone price has not been announced yet.

What that means for pre-orders

  • If pre-orders open, they’ll most likely appear closer to the final release date , not this far in advance.
  • Right now, the safest answer is: no confirmed pre-order date yet.

Practical takeaway

If you’re waiting on PS5, the game seems to be in the “announcement/trailer” phase rather than the “pre-order live” phase. Once GSC Game World sets a firm release date, pre-orders usually follow soon after.

TL;DR: No confirmed PS5 pre-order date yet; Cost of Hope is only confirmed for summer 2026 right now.
