Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will launch for PC on March 19, and its system requirements have been officially revealed—prioritizing both performance and compatibility across a broad range of hardware.
The game’s developers have structured the requirements into four tiers: Minimum, Medium, High, and Very High* (recommended). At the lowest setting, players can run the game on older GPUs like the GeForce GTX 1660 or Radeon RX 5500 XT, while the recommended setup demands at least an RTX 3060 or RX 9070 for smooth 4K gameplay.
demands remain modest, with the Minimum tier accommodating Intel Core i3-10100 or AMD Ryzen 3 3100 processors. The recommended build scales up to Intel Core i7-11700 or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X. All configurations require 16GB of RAM and 150GB of SSD storage.
A new Portable preset has been introduced, optimizing performance for handheld gaming devices such as the Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally. This preset ensures smoother gameplay on lower-power hardware without sacrificing core functionality.
The game supports the latest upscaling and frame-generation technologies, including NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XeSS 2. While DLSS 4’s advanced features—such as Multi-Frame Generation—have not been explicitly confirmed, the inclusion of these tools aligns with industry trends toward improving accessibility on high-resolution displays.
Beyond performance, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach introduces native support for ultrawide monitors, with cutscenes optimized for a 21:9 aspect ratio. Gameplay extends further to 32:9 ultrawide, though standard 16:9 displays can also be adjusted to a widescreen view. This flexibility ensures a broader field of view without requiring specialized hardware.
PC players will also receive exclusive rewards, including the Porter Suit: Link and Patch: Link, by linking their PlayStation account. These items were previously announced as PS5 bonuses and are now extended to the PC version upon launch.
The game’s launch date remains confirmed for March 19, available on Steam and the Epic Games Store. With its balanced hardware requirements and support for modern upscaling technologies, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* aims to deliver a polished experience across a wide range of systems.
