The Death Stranding 2 PC requirements are now official, and they tell a very clear story: 1080p players are safe, 4K players are entering expensive territory.
Sony and Nixxes Software have confirmed that Death Stranding 2: On The Beach on PC will support uncapped frame rates, ultrawide monitors, DualSense features, and the usual lineup of upscalers. What it will not support is ray tracing. That decision alone says a lot about where the focus is.
You will also need 150GB of free space. That is not optional. Clear your SSD now, not on launch day.
Death Stranding 2 PC requirements
| Target | CPU | RAM | GPU | Settings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p / 30FPS | i3-10100 / Ryzen 3 3100 | 16GB | GTX 1660 / RX 5500 XT | Low |
| 1080p / 60FPS | i5-11400 / Ryzen 5 5600 | 16GB | RTX 3060 / RX 6600 | Medium |
| 1440p / 60FPS | i7-11700 / Ryzen 7 5700X | 16GB | RTX 3070 / RX 6800 | High |
| 4K / 60FPS | i7-11700 / Ryzen 7 5700X | 16GB | RTX 4080 / RX 9070 XT | Ultra |
Notice how the CPU barely moves at the top end. The GPU does all the heavy lifting. And at 4K, that lifting is brutal.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach launches on PC on March 19. If you were planning a hardware upgrade, this might be your excuse.
