The PC port of Death Stranding is looking good. The former PS4 exclusive title will utilize Nvidia DLSS 2.0 technology. This means that if you have an RTX card you can run the game in 1440p and 4K with ease. DLSS 2.0 is an AI rendering technique based on its predecessor. However, unlike its predecessor, this one actually makes games look clearer and also improves the overall framerate.
"The extra performance Nvidia DLSS 2.0 delivers in Death Stranding allows gamers to unlock the vast graphical potential of the PC platform by increasing the graphics settings and resolution, delivering on the vision we have for the game," Kojima Productions' Akio Sakamoto said in an interview with Gamespot.
With a good RTX card, you should be able to run Death Stranding at 100FPS at 1440p or 60FPS at 4K. The official system requirements of the game are also not very demanding. You only need a GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 590 with Intel Core i7-3770 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 to run the game at 60 FPS 1080p. The PC version of the game will also have Ultrawide support, a new difficulty setting, and an extensive Photo mode.
The PC version of Death Stranding will launch on July 14. The game is available to pre-order on both Steam and Epic Game Store. Pre-ordering the game will give you some extra goodies like:
- HD Wallpapers
- CHIRAL GOLD/ OMNIREFLECTOR “SAM” SUNGLASSES (COLOR VARIANT) *
- CHIRAL GOLD/ OMNIREFLECTOR CAP (COLOR VARIANT)*
- GOLD and SILVER SPEED SKELETON*
- GOLD and SILVER ARMOUR PLATE LV2 AND ABOVE
Death Stranding was developed using the Decima Game Engine. This same engine was used for Horizon: Zero Dawn, another PS4 exclusive title that is getting a PC release. If the PC port of Death Stranding is amazing then this there is a good chance that the same will be possible for Horizon as well.
