Nixxes Software has just shared the full PC system requirements for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Powered by the Decima Engine just like its predecessor (and the Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West games), the game appears to have reasonable specs. Nixxes has also introduced a Portable preset that will be aimed at handheld gaming devices, such as the Steam Deck and the ASUS ROG Ally.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will also include all of the main PC upscaling and frame generation options: NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XeSS 2. It was not, however, clarified whether the NVIDIA DLSS 4 implementation includes Multi Frame Generation and support for the new DLSS 4.5 second-generation Transformer model via the NVIDIA app.
There won’t be any fancy new…
