About the Game
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.
Unique and realistic world
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.
Evolved and more flexible action
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.
A deep and captivating story
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?
Go beyond the UCA
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.
Fight for the future
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.
Hands across Australia
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.

Hey everyone,
Patch 1.2 for DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH is out now on Steam!
This update brings performance improvements for players on systems with limited PCI Express bandwidth, improves performance on Steam Deck, and contains various other bug fixes and improvements based on player feedback.
Performance improvements
We’ve made optimizations to reduce the amount of data being transmitted between the GPU and CPU over the PCIe bus interface. This results in performance improvements across most hardware configurations, with most gains seen on systems that have limited PCIe bandwidth.
Handhelds like Steam Deck also benefit from these changes, and this patch includes additional optimizations focused on handheld devices, resulting in improved performance. We continue to work on additional performance improvements for Steam Deck.
Ongoing optimization
We also want to give you an update on your reports and support requests regarding frame rate drops that can occur when using a sniper rifle scope. We have a fix in the works that will be available in an upcoming patch soon. If you are experiencing this, as a workaround, you can try lowering the Level of Detail and/or Texture Quality setting to improve your experience.
