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.
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.
Full integration with NVIDIA’s DLSS, AMD’s FSR and Intel’s XeSS and upscaling and frame generation technologies, allowing you to reach higher output resolutions; enjoy crisp, high-fidelity visuals as you navigate and explore an expansive and unpredictable open world.¹

[h3]「繋がり」体験と遊び心を優先してブラッシュアップされた作品。[/h3] このゲームの唯一性、よそのゲームがマネできないゲーム体験は、「[b]感謝される、いいねされるカタルシス[/b]」 それを追求するために、前作の不満点を大量に解消した、というのがDS2と言えるだろう。 [h3]素晴らしい点[/h3] ・処理負荷の最適化 →「素晴らしい」の一言。GPUの性能をフルに引き出し（使用率100%になるがフレームレートは非常に高い）、クラッシュは一度もなく、その辺のアンリアルエンジン製ゲームなど比にもならないほどロード時間が短い。 ・「繋がり」というゲーム性の強化 →例を一つ挙げると、道中で突発的に他プレイヤーやNPCを助けるシチュエーションが追加された。ゲームプレイは地点間移動のループではなくなった。 ・前作のストレス要素の改善、QoLの向上 →やって当たり前をきちんとできるのは素晴らしいこと。 [h3]お勧めできない人[/h3] ・前作を最後まで遊べなかった人 →これはナンバリングタイトルです。 ・戦闘やガンプレイの進化を期待している人 →戦闘シチュが増えたとはいえ、戦闘はあくまでも手段。そういうゲームを求めるならバイオレクイエムの方が向いてる。 ・寄り道しない人 メインストーリー1本だと、本作の最も重要なゲーム体験である「繋がり」をほとんど味わえない。ストーリーだけが目当てなら、youtubeで動画を視聴すれば十分と言わざるを得ない。
Death Stranding 2 is already blowing me away. I'm only a little way in, but it's been an absolute ride so far. The story is completely insane in the best way, the graphics are stunning, and the gameplay feels even more refined than before. The scale of everything is just massive. Can't wait to see where this journey goes.
GRACIAS POR TODO KOJIMA Que triste que no veremos mas de tus PORTS debido a sony :C
Cons: 1. I will never ever be able to figure out the thought process behind what causes damage to cargo and what does not. Take a jump off a cliff. Nothing. Slowly run into a tree. BOOM! Damaged. 2. Odd hitches where the FPS would drop 30 frames out of now where. Mainly on board the DHV Magellen. 3. These games still lack any compelling reason to keep playing after the main story is over. Sure, I love delivering as much as the next person, but after 70 hours the moment you hit any friction makes you question why you are still bothering. 4. Kojima's stories have a way have happening around the character making them feel separate from the main narrative at times... Pros: 1. ...but that doesn't stop this from being an absolutely incredible adventure. I didn't think playing this again a year after playing it on PS5 would effect me in the same ways, but I was still left a sobbing mess by four crucial moments in the narrative. Easily the best story Kojima has crafted. 2. Unlike the first game this one just goes. DS1 felt like pulling teeth in the first 2 hours where DS2 was flying by and getting Sam on to delivering. 3. The Decima engine is still amazing from an optimization standpoint. Other than a some odd FPS drops, this thing ran at a locked 120 on the highest settings for 99% of the game. 4. And the it is just one hell of a looker. Sporting much grander and diverse vistas than the first game. I love this game. I loved it in 2025 and I love it more now. Yeah gets long in the tooth at the end, but I've not had a video game story crush me in the same ways as this one. I'm putting it up on my list now. Death Stranding 2 goes in the top 10 of all time for me!
面白くてやり込み要素もあっていいんだけど１に比べて使える乗り物が少ないのは残念。 また、序盤からBTと戦える武器があるのでステルスよりも力技でなんとかなったりと爽快なんだけどBTの怖さが半減した印象。終盤の悪ふざけも度が過ぎてて笑いしかでてこないのが賛否別れそう。
This game has only one flaw and it is its storyline. I do not hold it in high regard, not at all. I find it lacking in cohesion. Everything feels flat and fragmented. It is such shame though, as the storyline is one of the best things coming from the first game. I completely abandon advancing the storyline and focus solely on exploring other aspects, especially on building infrastructures. This is where I got addicted to. Spending hours after hours to build roads and ziplines. When you finally finish building the entire highway, it feels so frickin' satisfying that you become obsessed with filling this world with all of your infrastructure. In this perspective, I highly recommend the game. 10/10 experience for me.
不愧是一代大師的神作，精彩無比
Kojima dowiózł, jak w pierwszej części. Pełno plot twistów, fabuła skomplikowana, ale wszystko się wyjaśnia z biegiem gry. Grafika na plus, optymalizacja klasa. Dubbing polski też niczego sobie. Ogólnie polecajka.
