DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH · published
Hey everyone,
DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH is making its way to PC! On behalf of the teams at Nixxes and KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS, I’d like to share the details on PC system requirements with all Porters that will start their journey on March 19!
With its release on PlayStation 5, DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH established itself as an award-winning graphical showcase, with highly detailed landscapes and photo realistic characters. At Nixxes, when bringing games over to PC, we take pride in delivering a smooth experience with the best possible visuals on a wide variety of hardware.
DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH for PC offers a range of Graphics Presets from Low to Very High, catering to both budget gaming PC’s and high-end systems. We’ve also added a Portable preset, aimed at handheld gaming devices, for those Porters who want to "keep on keeping on” while on the go!
To ensure you are well prepared for the delivery of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH PC next month, we’ve created an overview with our hardware recommendations for a variety of presets and resolutions:
The PC edition of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH launches with support for NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4 and Intel XESS 2. Both upscaling and frame generation options are available for all technologies.
For the first time on PC, you’ll find PICO as an option in Upscale Settings. This “Progressive Image Compositor” is developed by Guerrilla for the DECIMA engine and is the same upscaling technology that's used for DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH on PS5. PICO upscaling can be used with all supported graphics cards and can be combined with the various options for frame generation offered in the game.
All upscaling options can be used in combination with Dynamic Resolution Scaling, or with an upscaling quality setting of choice to improve performance. Native AA options are also available for maximum fidelity.
Sam’s second adventure can be enjoyed on PC with ultrawide aspect ratios. All cutscenes in DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH are meticulously crafted to be displayed in a 21:9 aspect ratio, for a true cinematic experience. Gameplay extends even further, filling up the whole screen when using a 32:9 display.
An ultrawide monitor is not required for an ultrawide experience: players with high-resolution 16:9 monitors, can enable widescreen aspect ratios in the Display Settings, to experience the broader field of view. An option to play DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH in 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratios is also coming to PS5 via an update at the same time as the PC release.
We can also confirm that the previously announced Porter Suit: Link and Patch: Link, both inspired by the PlayStation logo, will be rewarded to all PS5 Porters via an update when the PC version launches. PC Porters will get access to these items as a bonus reward for connecting their account for PlayStation.
DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH for PC is now available for pre-purchase on Steam and the Epic Games Store. We can't wait for Porters to find out if we should have connected, next month!
