Keep on Keeping On: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach PC Specs and Features Revealed
Prepare your boots and check your cargo, Porters. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is officially making the leap to PC on March 19, 2026. Following its award-winning debut as a graphical powerhouse on the PlayStation 5, the teams at Nixxes Software and Kojima Productions have pulled back the curtain on the technical requirements and PC-exclusive features that will define Sam Porter Bridges’ next journey.
From "Portable" presets for handheld enthusiasts to bleeding-edge 4K performance, this port is designed to be as expansive as the rugged landscapes of Australia itself.
Cutting-Edge Tech: DLSS 4, FSR 4, and "Pico"
The PC edition isn't just a straight port; it's a technical showcase for the latest upscaling and frame generation technologies.
- The Big Three: Full launch support for NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XeSS 2.
- Pico Upscaling: For the first time on PC, players can utilize Pico (Progressive Image Compositor). Developed by Guerrilla Games for the Decima engine, this is the exact upscaling technology used on the PS5 version, now available for all PC graphics cards.
- Cinematic Ultrawide: The game natively supports 21:9 and 32:9 aspect ratios. While gameplay fills the entire super-ultrawide screen, cutscenes are meticulously framed in 21:9 for a true "Kojima" cinematic feel.
