About DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH

About this game

From legendary game creator Hideo Kojima comes an emotionally charged evolution of this genre-defying experience. In bringing this title to PC, KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS worked with Nixxes Software to deliver the definitive version of the critically acclaimed console release.

Unique and realistic world

In the expansive open world of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, countless areas with vastly different terrains and environments are seamlessly connected, and the changing time, weather and nature itself provide a variety of landscapes and challenges.

Evolved and more flexible action

There are various obstacles that will prevent Sam from completing his mission. Face them head-on, sneak around, or completely avoid dangerous areas. Choose your approach to any situation.

A deep and captivating story

Eleven months after the events of the original DEATH STRANDING, rejoin Sam and his companions on a new journey to save humanity from extinction and discover the answer to this haunting question: Should we have connected?

Go beyond the UCA

Join Sam for the next chapter of his journey as he attempts to connect Australia to the Chiral Network. Navigate a living environment through day and night cycles, natural disasters – including earthquakes, sandstorms and forest fires – and Timefall, a rain that instantly ages everything it touches.

To traverse this dangerous landscape, you’ll need to build new types of infrastructure, master specialized equipment and confront (or evade) the otherworldly creatures that roam the fractured world.

Fight for the future

Face enigmatic Mech soldiers, as-yet unseen BTs and new boss types that will push Sam to his limits. As you prepare for each journey, you’ll be able to fabricate weapons like machine guns, shotguns and grenade launchers to deal with threats. Or, choose to avoid confrontation altogether with stealth – using decoy holograms, silent takedowns and long-ranged gear.

Through APAS enhancements, Sam can learn new skills that will improve his odds of survival, like enhanced weapon fire-rates or reduced movement noise to help him stay hidden.

Hands across Australia

The iconic Social Strand System of DEATH STRANDING returns to encourage asynchronous connection across the globe. Your in-game actions affect how other players interact with the world and vice-versa – so connect, collaborate and help your fellow Porters on their journeys.

Leave a “Like” on a useful bridge, donate resources to community projects, store field ware in shared lockers and finish incomplete deliveries as you stumble upon dropped cargo from other Porters. As you support other players on their journeys, your own reputation will grow, giving you access to valuable resources and new gear.

An incredible sequel. Kojima has taken everything that made the original Death Stranding special and elevated it across the board. The graphics are noticeably improved, combat is more dynamic, and the expanded selection of gadgets and vehicles adds a ton of depth. The combat even carries a strong Metal Gear Solid vibe, which longtime fans will appreciate. This is a massive game with an enormous amount of content side missions, exploration, story threads, and systems to dive into. The narrative is just as wonderfully strange as the first game, and that’s absolutely part of its charm. Facial animations are astonishingly good, reaching what feels like “DLSS 5.0 neural rendering” quality without actually using DLSS 5.0. In other words, no need to rush out and buy a 5000‑series GPU. Performance is another highlight. The game is extremely well optimized and runs smoothly right from the start. The addition of ray tracing is a welcome surprise, and overall the visuals, world design, and atmosphere feel truly AAA in every sense. If you enjoyed the original Death Stranding, you’ll almost certainly love this sequel. And if you’re new to the series, you can jump in thanks to the lengthy recap, though I’d still recommend playing the first game to fully appreciate the world and characters. The online component deserves special praise. Collaborating with other players to build and upgrade infrastructure, leave helpful tools, and shape the world together is a huge part of what makes this series so unique. It’s genuinely satisfying to see the world evolve through collective effort. I’m over 20 hours in as of writing this, and it feels like I’ve barely scratched the surface. Deliveries are strangely addictive, the steady stream of new gadgets and music tracks keeps things fresh, and time just disappears while playing. Who knew being a futuristic “postal worker” could be this fun? Overall, an amazing title ambitious, polished, and endlessly engaging.
