About
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.

"Kept You Waiting, Huh"
Just completed the main story and this game is an absolute masterpiece. A truly trippy work of art. Hideo Kajima has still got it. Will be putting many many many more hours into this
艺术
I haven't beaten it yet, and I like the game but there are a few issues. Firstly, performance is decent but frame gen is borderline unusable due to the amount of artifacts that you can see around the ui and around distant objects. Second, they changed the inventory system a lot from the first game and I really don't like it. It was already confusing, but now every time you enter a new screen you have even more options and it is almost never clear when you're supposed to press b and close out of the menu or press A. Last issue, immediately upon launching the game dlss didn't work properly, some really bizare stuff happening on my screen, had to reinstall the Nvidia app. It seems that you can only set dlss to automatic, and there's no option for dlaa. The Nvdia app doesn't work either, and if you try to use dlss 4.5 it just bugs out. I would expect a game to be equipped from launch with all the latest features, and if not at least patch it within a few weeks. But it's july already and things shouldn't be this broken. I'm honestly surprised given the price of the game, and I would recommend holding off on this one until it's fixed if you missed the summer games discount. Have to rate it negative for now, even though it's a hell of a game I am very tired of paying a bunch of money for a game that's broken and then having to spend a bunch of time looking for mods that don't even fix it most of the time. So far I've played 5 hours, but 3 and a half of that has been on Microsoft edge looking for solutions. Edit: after having played I have learned the inventory system better and it does work, actually! But still no resolution to frame gen looking terrible in this game!
stop reading the reviews to wonder if you should buy the game or not, Buy it NOW. BEST GAME OAT AMAZING GAMEPLAY AMAZING EVERYTHING. WORDS CAN NOT DESCRIBE HOW GOOD THIS GAME IS. If you are interested in the games story and not the gameplay because you did not like it in 1, then my boys/girls the gameplay is phenomenal. The gameplay loop is amazing somehow, the story is beautiful. and yes those who love aura moments there are so much, buy game.
