Death Stranding 2’s Special PC Graphics Options

  • UPSCALING AND FRAME GENERATION: Support for NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XESS 2 means players can choose from all major current upscaling and frame generation technologies. These tools can significantly boost framerates on supported GPUs while preserving image fidelity.
  • PICO UPSCALING: For the first time in a PC game, Death Stranding 2 introduces Pico (Progressive Image Compositor)—an upscaling method developed by Guerrilla Games for the Decima engine. Pico can be combined with frame generation and will be available alongside traditional upscaling options.
  • DYNAMIC RESOLUTION AND AA: Dynamic Resolution Scaling and various native antialiasing options give players more control over how performance and visuals balance on their systems.

Players on PC will enjoy improved visuals in Death Stranding 2. The game supports ultrawide monitors, including 21:9 for cutscenes and 32:9 during gameplay. Even players with standard 16:9 displays can enable a wider view through the game’s settings, without needing a special monitor.

Beyond improved performance and graphics, the PC version of Death Stranding 2 will offer exclusive cosmetic items to certain players. If you link your PlayStation account, you’ll receive special Porter outfits—the Porter Suit: Link and Patch: Link—which were previously revealed and are now confirmed as launch rewards.

The PC version of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will be released on March 19, 2026, and you can pre-order it now on Steam and the Epic Games Store. It’s coming to PC less than a year after its release on PlayStation 5. This edition includes options to adjust performance, uses the latest upscaling technology, supports wide displays, and builds on the game’s already impressive graphics. It’s shaping up to be one of the best PC ports of the year.
