Death Stranding 2 system requirements are good news for gamers trapped between aging PCs and skyrocketing hardware prices, and there’s even a ‘portable preset’ for playing on handhelds

After making us wait for the better part of a year, Kojima Productions finally made the PC version of Death Stranding 2 official earlier this month. And with the release now just over three weeks away, port developer Nixxes has unveiled the official PC system requirements, which I’m happy to say aren’t terribly onerous.

Obviously, the higher you can go the better it’s going to be, but if you find yourself stuck between an aging rig and obscene hardware prices, the minimum spec is pretty manageable: PCs still trundling along with 8GB RAM are out of luck (and yes, there are still a few of you out there) but come on, even with RAM prices the way they are, surely you can scrounge up another 8GB somewhere and get your system to a more functional state? 150GB of SSD space is a bit of an eye-widener—that’s nearly double what the original Death Stranding sucked up—but that’s the way of things these days: Games are big.

It’s up, up, up from there, to a “very high” spec promising 4K at 60 fps performance, if you’ve got the hardware to handle it. Upscaling and frame generation options are available across Nvidia DLSS 4, AMD FSR4, and Intel XESS 2, and there’s even an upscaling option called “Pico,” which is being used in a PC port for the first time.
