When will Death Stranding 2 be released on PC?

Since Death Stranding 2: On the Beach was released on PlayStation 5, many people have been wondering if the game will also be released on other platforms. Among the most attentive, one question is repeated: Death Stranding 2 be released on PC?

The history of Kojima Productions studio already provides clues. The first Death Stranding also started as a Sony console exclusive, but arrived on PC months later, with visual improvements, greater configuration freedom, and even extra features. With that in mind, it's natural that there's strong anticipation surrounding the sequel.

Those who prefer to play on PC are keeping a close eye on things. The desire for an adjustable version, with support for ultrawide monitors, optimized graphics, and higher frame rates, is common. But are there real reasons to believe that Death Stranding 2 on PC is in the works? See below!

Will Death Stranding 2 be released on PC? And on Xbox?

This is the most common question. For now, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has only been released for PlayStation 5 , with no official announcement about other platforms. Even so, there are signs suggesting that a PC release may be on the way.

In the past, the first Death Stranding was distributed on PC by 505 Games, about 8 months after its console release. Since Kojima Productions is an independent studio, it has the freedom to negotiate releases with other companies. Therefore, this indicates that Death Stranding 2 on PC may be in production, even if it hasn't been publicly revealed yet.

In the case of Xbox, the situation is different. The first title only appeared on Microsoft consoles five years after its original release, which shows that negotiations there take longer. So, between the two platforms, the computer is the most likely candidate to receive the new version first.

Furthermore, another important point is that Hideo Kojima himself has shown interest in the PC audience. In previous interviews, he highlighted the positive impact the PC version had on sales and recognition of the franchise. This further reinforces the expectation of seeing Death Stranding 2 on PC in the near future.

Do you need a PS5 Pro to play Death Stranding 2?

With such beautiful and detailed graphics, many people think the game only runs well on the PS5 Pro. However, the truth is that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach works perfectly fine on the standard PlayStation 5. The Quality mode prioritizes visuals and runs at 30 fps, while the Performance mode offers 60 fps with a slight reduction in resolution. Even so, the experience remains fluid and visually stunning.

Even those who don't own the most advanced console can enjoy the game. This raises another important point: if the console version already impresses with its technical level, one can only imagine what will be possible in a version optimized for PC.

Therefore, fans are still waiting for news about Death Stranding 2 on PC. The expectation is that the game will arrive with extra features such as DLSS support, more advanced ray tracing, ultrawide resolution options, and an unlocked frame rate. All of this is expected to take the game to a new visual and technical level, as happened with the first title.

How many hours does the game last?

Anyone who followed the launch already knows that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a lengthy game. According to reports compiled on the website How Long to Beat, the main campaign lasts between 30 and 33 hours. Players who invest time in side missions or who like to explore more calmly can easily exceed 50 hours.

This playtime is likely to increase even further when the PC version arrives. Death Stranding 2 on PC should attract many who enjoy playing with total focus, adjusting settings, testing mods, and freely enjoying every detail. This more dedicated profile is common among PC users, and it significantly extends the average playtime.

Furthermore, it's common for more technical reviews to appear after a PC release, helping other users get the most out of the game. All of this increases interest in a future PC adaptation.

Is it available on Amazon?

The physical version of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is now available at major retailers, including Amazon Brazil. The launch price is around R $ 349.90, but it's already possible to find lower prices with discounts for cash payments. In addition, the first Death Stranding is also on sale in editions for PS5, including the Director's Cut version.

If Death Stranding 2 is indeed confirmed for PC, it's very likely that it will also arrive on Amazon in physical or digital format, as happened with the first game. The PC version of the first game, incidentally, performed well in sales on the online store, which may influence the decision to repeat the strategy.

It's worth remembering that, in addition to Amazon, the game should also appear on platforms like Steam and the Epic Games Store , as happened before. Those who prefer digital media should keep an eye on these stores.

Remember the story

For those eyeing Death Stranding 2 on PC, it's worth remembering that the game's plot is directly connected to the first. Sam Bridges returns as the protagonist, now facing new challenges and in brand new locations, including regions inspired by Mexico and Australia.

The story of the first game is complex, full of memorable moments and plot twists. If you're unfamiliar with it or have forgotten some of the events, it's worth revisiting this content before diving into the sequel. Kojima Productions has even released a summary video to help refresh your memory. It covers the main events and prepares you to understand the sequel.

For those waiting for the PC version of Death Stranding 2, this wait time might be ideal for playing (or replaying) the first game and getting ready. The second game promises to expand on concepts and add more depth to the narrative, so it's important to be familiar with what happened before.
