When is Death Stranding 2 coming to PC? – Destructoid

A new Hideo Kojima game has arrived, and that feels like an event in itself. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is here and it’s an incredible progression and advancement from its predecessor, by all accounts.

I’ve been playing Death Stranding 2 on PS5 Pro, and it’s a stunner. It’s likely one of the best-looking games of this generation, if not ever, and the game has evolved from a gameplay and storytelling perspective, too.

Naturally, with a console exclusive looking this incredible from a graphics standpoint, PC gamers are wondering when they will get to flex their builds with this graphical behemoth without having to purchase or bust out a PS5 console to do so.

Here’s everything we know so far about Death Stranding 2’s PC release.

Is Death Stranding 2 coming to PC?

While there’s no official confirmation yet, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will most likely be coming to PC at a later date. For the past several years, PlayStation exclusives have launched on PC some time after their console launch, so a PC launch for DS2 is a safe bet to continue this trend.

Other previous PS5 exclusives that launched on Steam over a year later include Stellar Blade, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Returnal, God of War: Ragnarok, and others, while a game like Helldivers 2 bucked the trend and launched simultaneously on console and PC.

When will Death Stranding 2 come to PC?

There’s no current concrete timetable for Death Stranding 2 to launch on PC, but it will likely be at least a year after its PS5 launch. For example, Death Stranding launched on PS4 in November 2019, and it didn’t come to Steam to launch on PC until March 2022.

Following trends of recent PS5 exclusives, we most likely won’t see a PC launch of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach until summer 2026 at the earliest, but that could change at any time.

PlayStation has reiterated time and time again that it prefers its strategy of launching games exclusively on PlayStation and then bringing them to PC later on to capitalize on things like a “game of the year” edition, so DS2 will probably follow suit.

Stay tuned for official information from both PlayStation and Kojima Productions in the coming months about all future announcements about the PC version of DS2.
