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

This game is a masterpiece! I played this game through on a PS5 Pro and rebought it because of how good it was. On PC, its even better!
Juegazo, vale la pena cada segundo del juego
I just finished Death Stranding 2 and... what the hell did i just play. It left me with more question than it answered, and it kept me wondering where the story would go. Let's brush this off first : I loved Death Stranding 1. I've been introduced to Hideo Kojima's work with Metal Gear Solid and wow what a franchise ; So naturally when i learnt that the creator of Big Boss was now riding solo the video game industry, i went for it. And it did not disappoint. Death Stranding 1 is a game about connection, friendship, fatherhood, but also loss, grief, and all the different kind of emotions you could go through in harsh situations. It is after all set in an apocalyptic world, where the end is near, and you have to keep it from being destroyed wether it be by malevolent forces or time itself. Regarding Death Stranding 2, I'm not sure what story it's trying to tell... On one hand you could think it's also about fatherhood and grief as the first few chapters unfold, but it's brushed off so effortlessly by all the characters including the main one that i can't believe it's its main focus. You could think it's about truth, lies and manipulation as you progress through the end game, but the resolve is so anticlimatic, you're bound to be disappointed. What are you trying to say Kojima ? That no one is to be trusted ? So why do we follow them ? How are we punished in believing liars ? What do they get in return except a cool cinematic ? The way the game is trying to communicate is so foggy and confusing, i wouldn't blame you if you were to think there is no story. Although i'd argue there is one, just poorly executed. In the end I don't think i could recommend this game to anyone, especially not if you've liked the first one. Don't get me wrong, i still had fun playing and i might keep playing after the story is over, but i can't recommend it. I hope Whitelight will make a 14 hours-long video to explain the story so i can be a little less lost
A piece of art!
Such an awesome game. Finishing it leaves you lost, like finishing an awesome novel or TV Series.
Estou deveras desnorteado com o jogo, a trama em si, moldada desde o primeiro em conjunto com trilha sonora e gameplay absurda tornou isso uma obra contemporânea absurdamente boa. Estou em choque, sobrou nada pro betinha valeu valeu tmj
los que te dicen que es la mejor obra maestra...esos lo jugaron fumandose 48 porros al mismo tiempo. death stranding 2 es como estar en la escena de matrix donde neo habla con el arquitecto, pero de repente aparece michael jackson bailando en tanga... el gameplay esta mejor al menos.
Does everything the first game does but better
buenos graficos, pero aterradoramente repetitivo
