Hideo Kojima’s wacky intellectual post-apocalyptic game, starring Norman Reedus and his “trike”, is finally making it’s way to PC next month, after a slight delay due to the current pandemic. 505 Games, the publisher, and Kojima Productions have officially revealed the specs you need to pack to run this former PS4 exclusive, and the minimum specs are very forgiving, considering it is a console port.
The Minimum specs target a 720p@30fps performance, slightly below the standard PS4’s 1080p@30fps.
Minimum
- OS: Windows 10
- CPU: Intel® Core i5-3470 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
- RAM: 8 GB
- GPU: GeForce GTX 1050 3 GB or AMD Radeon RX 560 4 GB
- DirectX 12
- HDD: 80GB
- Sound cards: DirectX compatible
There are two sets of recommended specs for 1080p: @30fps and @60fps
Recommended 30fps
- OS: Windows 10
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400

- DirectX 12
- HDD: 80GB
- Sound cards: DirectX compatible
Recommended 60fps

- Sound cards: DirectX compatible
Unfortunately, the maxed out specs for 4K or 1440p are not yet officially available, but judging by the given specs and it being a PS4 port, it wouldn’t be too demanding.
Death Stranding released on the PS4 last November to heavily skewed reviews, with many either loving it or hating it. Regardless, it’s a game worth trying out for its unique approach and boldness to try out something different in this age of recycled microtransaction enabled sequels. (Americanadventure.com) It is also surprisingly on-topic with the courier being an essential service in a period of isolation, much like the character you get to play as.
Death Stranding will be out for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on July 14, featuring exclusive Half-Life goodies through a collaboration with Valve and widescreen support with photo-mode.
