We're almost a month away now from the PC release of Hideo Kojima's infamous literal-walking-simulator, Death Stranding. Whilst it certainly does look beautiful on the PlayStation, how will it handle on PC? The official PC system requirements have now been revealed so we can get a nice idea of well it will perform at least.
Before we jump in though, we have been gracefully given a decent amount of specs required that includes the minimum requirements in order to get the game running at 720p and 30fps, plus two recommended requirements intended for 30fps and 60fps gameplay at 1080p screen resolution. Either way it's clear that Death Stranding is the type of game where reaching anywhere between those frame rates will be perfectly playable.
So let's take a look at the official system requirements for Death Stranding on PC...
Death Stranding minimum system requirements
- OS: Windows 10
- CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
- RAM: 8GB
- GPU RAM: 3GB
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon RX 560
- HDD: 80GB
- DX: 12
Death Stranding recommended system requirements (30fps)
- OS: Windows 10
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400
- RAM: 8GB
- GPU RAM: 4GB
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 570
- HDD: 80GB
- DX: 12
Death Stranding recommended system requirements (60fps)
- OS: Windows 10
- CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600
- RAM: 8GB
- GPU RAM: 6GB
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 590
- HDD: 80GB
- DX: 12
Death Stranding will require a GeForce GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 590 8GB graphics card with a Core i7-3770 4-Core 3.4GHz or Ryzen 5 1600 processor to reach the recommended specs, achieving high graphics setting and 60fps on 1080p.
Death Stranding needs a Core i5-3470 3.2GHz or Ryzen 3 1200 processor coupled with a GeForce GTX 1050 or Radeon RX 560 to get it to run minimum system requirements. This will return around 30FPS at 720p screen resolution on low graphics settings, but you can also adjust the settings further to tweak.
Minimum and recommended RAM requirements are 8 GB system memory. Your graphics card will need to be capable of running DirectX 12. In short you need a 4 year old PC for best Death Stranding performance.
As ever, remember you can always check out how well your PC can run the Death Stranding System Requirements here, where you can check benchmarks and performance from other users. Compare your graphics card to the Death Stranding GPU benchmark chart and we also have a Death Stranding Frames Per Second system performance chart for you to check.

I hope with some med-high i can achieve 60+fps at 1440p
PC Specs
It was a game I would of played but not released at same time on PC not worth thinking about If CDPR can put a game out on various platform at the same time why cant others do? As I see lots of games I would try just no PC port no biggie!!!
PC Specs
I completely forgot this was coming to PC. Not really excited for it anymore but more games coming to PC is always nice.
PC Specs
It wasnt so hard now was it? Now I can believe more exclusives can be easily transformed to a fine pc port, but this next gen screams more exclusivity and time grabs from other platforms (cod mw for one), let me guess.... the game is gonna be 60$ for a good 3 months until we can squeeze some price cut whereas on ps4 can be had for half the price (at least where iam)
PC Specs
Minimum 1050, recommended 1050ti...not that much of a difference.
PC Specs
I hope i can run it, while i play horizon zero dawn......
God save ALT TAB
PC Specs
Looks like my pc will be able to play this game at ultra settings 1080p
PC Specs
Idk about Ultra but high
PC Specs
Man, I'm kinda proud of my i7-3770
It's so old, but it still shows up on so many current games recommended requirements.
PC Specs
yes one hell of a cpu i had it in the past never dispointed me :)
PC Specs
Seeing my CPU as minimum is always ouch, but I'm sure it's not that bad.
PC Specs
By the way doesn't make sense that Ryzen 1200 is rated higher than Ryzen 1400 on game-debate. Other than that Ryzen 3100 is rated laughably low, too. It's so much better than 1200, but rated lower, lol.

Finally Decima Engine on PC. I also can't wait for the Horizon Zero Dawn for PC.
PC Specs
Even though the system requirement is pretty solid, no complains about that, but from the looks of it, the game should run better on Nvidia GPU compared to AMD
PC Specs
equivalents, RX570 is a lot better than the 1050ti, also the 590 compared to the 1060. Or maybe they just listed the most powerful GPUs in the $200 range from
PC Specs
both sides and called it a day. There is a bit of GPU power discrepancy in those system requirements, at least from the looks of it.
PC Specs
Well the 590 is about 10-15% faster than the reference 1060, there should be less difference with a decently OCed model.
PC Specs
Cant wait to try out this game
PC Specs
hh omg i still remember ps4 fanboys saying this wont come to pc and if it comes you gonna need a verry high end pc to run it they was wrong in every aspect...verry well optimized if this is true :)
PC Specs
Very nice
I hope I can run it on almost max
PC Specs
You might be able to do that yes
