As Death Stranding 2: On the Beach prepares for its June 26, 2025, PS5 launch, PC players are wondering when they will get to experience the latest masterpiece of Kojima Productions. The original game release made it to the PC, but there is still doubt about the game’s availability on it. Here is all we know about the Death Stranding 2 PC release and more.
Will the PC players receive Death Stranding 2?
The history has offered many clues about the PC prospects of Death Stranding 2. The original Death Stranding on the PC arrived via 505 Games. It happened nearly a year after the game made its PlayStation debut. The Director’s Cut of the original game hit the PC Game Pass in 2022. With this established pattern, the fans believe that a PC port is almost inevitable, though the increased investment of Sony in PC gaming can accelerate the timeline.
As per the industry insiders, the game’s development might already be underway. The players can expect the potential release of the Death Stranding 2: On the Beach either in late 2025 or early 2026. For now, there is no official confirmation yet. It stems from the strategy of Sony to maintain PS5 exclusivity during a crucial launch window to drive up console sales.
What is new on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach?
The sequel has expanded a bizarre post-apocalyptic world with,
- More aggressive enemy encounters.
- Deep character customization.
- New traversal mechanics, including the amphibious vehicles.
- Expanded features for asynchronous multiplayer.
- Enhanced weather systems that affect the gameplay.
The early trailer revealed older Sam Bridges navigating the flooded ruins. He was seen confronting the mysterious new cult, with the gameplay snippets showing some improved combat and the delivery systems. The game’s star-studded cast has also returned, alongside the new additions like George Miller and Elle Fanning.
Should the PC players wait for the game launch?
For those with both platforms, the decision is all about patience. The PS5 version will no doubt be a definitive experience at the launch, complete with the DualSense integration, but the PC ports come with superior performance, better mod support, and even include all the DLC, making the wait worthwhile for the hardcore fans.
The comments of Kojima Productions about the platform-agnostic development suggest the team is pushing for simultaneous releases in future projects. However, Death Stranding 2 has deep ties to the PlayStation Studios, which makes it unlikely for now. So, the fans must expect a six-month wait, at least after the release of the game on PS5.
