Preload for Death Stranding 2 will be live a few days before launch on Steam. At launch, the install size for Death Stranding 2 is around 115 GB, but the developers recommend 150 GB of free SSD space to ensure the installation goes smoothly.
I will update this when preload is live on Steam.

No, Death Stranding 2 doesn’t have advanced access tied to its deluxe edition. Since this is a global release, everyone will be playing at the same time.
Can You Transfer Death Stranding 2 PS5 Saves to PC?
No, it’s not possible to transfer save data of Death Stranding 2 from PS5 to PC, or vice versa. Each platform will have its specific progress. However, you will see activity from both PS5 and PC players since the game uses the same servers for both platforms.
Do You Need a PlayStation Account To Play Death Stranding 2?
No, a PlayStation Account is completely optional for Death Stranding 2, but if you link it to the PC version, you will receive a unique in-game design patch for backpack customization and an exclusive suit inspired by the PlayStation logo.
