Death Stranding 2 PC System Requirements Revealed

Good news for PC gamers: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, revealed at this month’s PlayStation State of Play, is confirmed to be coming to PC! It wasn’t a huge shock, considering the original Death Stranding was also released on platforms beyond PlayStation, but many are still surprised by how quickly the sequel will be available.

Kojima Productions and Nixxes, the studio handling the PC port, have just announced the system requirements for Death Stranding 2.

Not only that, but we also got new information about the game’s PC-specific features, too.

I was really excited to hear Nixxes talk about how the game will actually run on PC! They went over all the features they’re including to make sure it performs really well right from the start.

The PC version of Death Stranding 2 will launch with:

  • Support for NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XESS 2 – Both upscaling and frame generation options available for all tech
  • Pico is an option in Upscale Settings – This “Progressive Image Compositor” is developed by Guerrilla Games for the Decima engine and is the same upscaling tech used for Death Stranding 2 on the PS5 Pro.
  • Ultrawide aspect ratios – All cutscenes in Death Stranding 2 are crafted to be displayed in a 21:9 aspect ratio, with gameplay extending it further, filling up the whole screen when using a 32:9 display.
  • Ultrawide monitor not required for the experience – Gamers with high-res 16:9 monitors can enable widescreen aspect ratios in the Display Settings to experience the broader field of view (FOV).

You can use any of the upscaling features alongside Dynamic Resolution Scaling, or customize the upscaling quality to boost performance. We’re also including standard anti-aliasing options for the best possible image quality.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is coming to PC on March 19th through Steam and the Epic Games Store. Our review calls the game a standout experience, noting that Hideo Kojima’s creative freedom has resulted in something truly special. While it might not appeal to all players, it’s considered one of the best open-world games ever made and is expected to remain enjoyable for years to come.
