Kojima Productions and Nixxes Software announce that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will release on PC on March 19, 2026. Pre-purchases are now live through both Steam and the Epic Games Store.
The PC version will include the usual bells and whistles. This means it supports ultrawide monitors at both 21:9 and 32:9. The PC version also offers support for mouse and keyboard support with the ability to rebind keys. The preferred way to play is obviously with a controller, which the PC version will obviously support. The DualSense will be supported with the same features that were present on the PlayStation 5 release. There is also 3D audio support via Dolby Access, DTS Sound Unbound, and Windows Sonic.
There will also be "new modes and features" coming to both PC and PlayStation 5 that will "offer players new challenges and rewards." Details on this new content will be shared in March.
If you make use of the optional PlayStation account sign in, you will get be able to earn PlayStation Trophies. There are also unique in-game design patches for backpack customization and an exclusive suit inspired by the PlayStation logo.
There are also special pre-purchase bonuses as well as a Deluxe Edition with more in-game unlocks.
In this standalone sequel, DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH offers a new range of tools, weapons and vehicles at Sam’s disposal. With his companions from DRAWBRIDGE by his side, Sam takes on a new adventure to connect Australia to the Chiral network. Beset on all sides by enemies, Sam will have to shoot, sneak, and sprint his way out of trouble, as well as survive natural disasters such as earthquakes, sandstorms and forest fires, and brave the ruinous Timefall as he strives to save humanity from extinction once again. The Social Strand System returns, connecting players from around the globe allowing you to shape someone else’s world, and have their actions shape yours.
