Kojima Productions has confirmed that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will launch on PC on March 19, marking a significantly shorter wait compared to the original title’s multi-year gap between console and computer releases.
The sequel debuted first on PlayStation 5, but this time the PC version arrives in less than a year, reflecting Sony’s growing push toward faster multi-platform availability for its major releases.
Port handled by experienced studio
The PC version is being developed by Nixxes Software in collaboration with Kojima Productions. Nixxes has previously delivered PC ports for several high-profile PlayStation titles, including Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Forbidden West and Marvel’s Spider-Man, building a reputation for strong optimization and performance.
Technical features for PC players
According to the developers, the PC edition will include a wide range of graphical and performance options:
- Support for ultrawide displays (21:9) and cinematic scenes up to 32:9
- 4K resolution with unlocked frame rates
- Compatibility with major upscaling technologies, including NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS
- Keyboard and mouse support alongside full DualSense Wireless Controller functionality
- Spatial audio options through Dolby Access, DTS Sound Unbound and Windows Sonic
The PC release will also introduce new modes and features that will later be added to the PS5 version.
Bonuses and pricing
Players who link their PlayStation account on PC will receive exclusive cosmetic items. Pre-order customers for both standard and deluxe editions will also gain additional in-game bonuses.
Pricing has been set at the equivalent of roughly $70 for the standard edition and around $80 for the deluxe version, placing the title among premium-tier PC releases.
System requirements still pending
Despite the upcoming launch, official PC system requirements have not yet been announced. Developers said further technical details and feature information will be shared closer to release.
The accelerated PC rollout highlights a broader shift in Sony’s strategy to bring major PlayStation titles to computer audiences sooner, expanding the reach of one of the company’s flagship franchises.
