Death Stranding was easily one of the best-looking PS4 games when it came out in November 2019, so we had high hopes for the PC version, which has just been released.

However, we weren’t quite prepared for just how good the game looks on PC, and how well optimized the port is. After testing it out on a number of GPUs, we found that it could easily be run on almost any modern graphics card, with the relatively modest RTX 2060 even managing 4K resolutions without much issue.
