Death Stranding 2 has officially arrived on PC, less than a year after its initial launch exclusively on the PlayStation 5. It brings Hideo Kojima's ambitious sequel to a wider audience beyond consoles. The sequel to 2019's PlayStation 4 exclusive once again puts players in the shoes of Norman Reedus' Sam Porter Bridges, returning to its signature “delivery-driven” gameplay that famously earned the original the tongue-in-cheek “FedEx simulator” tag among players. Now available on PC, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach offers enhanced visuals, performance options, and expanded accessibility.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – The Story So Far

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is developed by Kojima Productions, led by Hideo Kojima. The game takes place roughly 11 months after the events of the first title, continuing the journey of Sam Porter Bridges. In the sequel, Sam teams up with Fragile as part of a new organisation called Drawbridge, which aims to reconnect isolated survivors, but instead of the United Cities of America (UCA), this time across the Australian continent.

The story explores the deeper consequences of reconnecting humanity, a central theme of the original game, while introducing new threats and mysteries. Players will encounter the familiar antagonist Higgs, excellently voiced by Troy Baker, along with a new and rapidly evolving entity known as “Tomorrow”.

Interestingly, while the original Death Stranding took around five years to arrive on PC after its PlayStation release, the sequel has been brought to PC in less than a year.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach PC-Exclusive Features

The PC version of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach introduces a range of PC-exclusive technologies, including support for NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XeSS 2. These are claimed to offer a wide range of upscaling and frame generation options.
