Alex Co has been writing about games for 15 years and running, and is a huge fan of online shooters and anything horror related.

Announced during this month's PlayStation State of Play, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is officially headed to PC! While not surprising, since we did see the first Death Stranding on other platforms outside of PlayStation, some people might be surprised at how fast the game will be available on PC.

Today, Kojima Productions, along with PlayStation's first-party studio Nixxes, which is the studio tasked with porting the action game, has revealed the Death Stranding 2 PC requirements.

Not only that, but we also got new information about the game's PC-specific features, too.

Aside from the PC specs, Nixxes also talked about the PC performance-enhancing features we can expect at launch.

The PC version of Death Stranding 2 will launch with:

Support for NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XESS 2 - Both upscaling and frame generation options available for all tech
Pico is an option in Upscale Settings - This “Progressive Image Compositor” is developed by Guerrilla Games for the Decima engine and is the same upscaling tech used for Death Stranding 2 on the PS5 Pro.
Ultrawide aspect ratios - All cutscenes in Death Stranding 2 are crafted to be displayed in a 21:9 aspect ratio, with gameplay extending it further, filling up the whole screen when using a 32:9 display.
Ultrawide monitor not required for the experience - Gamers with high-res 16:9 monitors can enable widescreen aspect ratios in the Display Settings to experience the broader field of view (FOV).

All upscaling options can be used in combination with Dynamic Resolution Scaling or with an upscaling quality setting of choice to improve performance. Players can also expect native AA options for maximum fidelity.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach launches on PC on March 19 via Steam and the Epic Games Store. If you're wondering whether this trek is worth it, read our review where we state, "As the auteur, Hideo Kojima is at his most unbridled, and as such, DS2 might not be for everyone. With nothing stopping his and his team’s creative vision and their cumulative experiences of game-making, it is one of the best open-world games I have ever had the pleasure of playing, and one that I will be sure to revisit often for the next few years."
