Death Stranding 2 PC System Requirements and Features Detailed
The second strand-type game to hit PC.
Death Stranding 2 is finally making its way to PC in March 2026, thanks to the porting efforts of Nixxes and Kojima Productions. After debuting an incredible trailer during State of Play, Nixxes has now shared some technical details of the upcoming PC release.
Here are the complete system requirements for the PC version of Death Stranding 2, along with confirmed technical features for the port.
Death Stranding 2 PC System Requirements

| Avg Performance | 1080p @ 30 FPS | 1080p @ 60 FPS | 1440p @ 60 FPS | 4K @ 60 FPS |

There is a good variety of CPU and GPU combinations here, and if the optimization of the first title is anything to go by, Death Stranding 2 is shaping up to be another hit on PC. While the game supports upscaling technologies, there is no mention of it in the system requirements, which means that these targets are likely native.
If you’re targeting 60 FPS at 1440p on the high graphical preset, you’ll need something like a Ryzen 7 5700X paired with an RTX 3070. You need a total of 150 GB of SSD storage to install Death Stranding 2 on PC, and 16 GB of RAM is recommended across the board.

My hope with the PC port of Death Stranding 2 is that it’s scalable and stable when it comes to performance. Nixxes has a solid track record with PlayStation Studios’ PC ports, and I hope they got the time needed to release the best version possible for this one as well.
