DEATH STRANDING for PC premieres today with newly supported features and playable content exclusively available to players on PC, including :
DEATH STRANDING for PC debuts with new advanced tech features including NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 technology, a deep learning neural network powered by RTX Tensor Cores that boosts frame rates and generates beautiful, sharp images. With DLSS 2.0 enabled, gamers can achieve 100+ FPS at 1440p or a smooth 60+ FPS at 4K on all NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs.
Death Stranding is an action game set in an open world and also includes asynchronous online functions, although Kojima refers to Death Stranding as the first "strand game", an original genre characterized by the game's incorporation of social elements. Kojima compared this genre to how his earlier game Metal Gear—now considered to be a stealth game—was called an action game during its release because the stealth genre was not considered to exist at the time.
The game is set in the United States during the aftermath of the eponymous Death Stranding, which caused destructive creatures from a realm between life and death to begin roaming the Earth. Players control Sam Porter Bridges (Norman Reedus), a courier tasked with delivering supplies to the fractured and isolated colonies that remain and reconnecting them via a wireless communications network.
