Death Stranding is a third-person open world action-adventure game developed by Kojima Productions and published by 505 Games. Directed and designed by Hideo Kojima as his next work after Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the title is the first Kojima Productions game built on the Decima engine created by Guerrilla Games.
Originally released for PlayStation 4 on November 8, 2019 to generally positive critics reviews and subsequently announced for PC with a release date of June 2, 2020, the date was later moved to be July 14.[1][2] Similarly to its console counterpart, the PC release was met with critical acclaim as multiple media outlets entitled it "the definitive version" of Death Stranding.[3][4][5]
The PC version of the game is available for Windows and distributed through Epic Games Store and Steam, making use of Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM on both platforms at launch. It features 21:9 ultra-widescreen support, DLSS 2.0, high frame rates and adjustable graphics options, along with a new difficulty and bonus in-game content.[6][7]
Following the release, it was reported that the game enforces the 21:9 aspect ratio unconditionally, resulting in slight pillarboxing at all common display resolutions loosely regarded as 21:9 ultra-wide despite their deviations from the exact ratio.[8][9]
