[Update #2]: The greatly improved Death Stranding Director's Cut has now landed onto PC as a $10 upgrade

[Update]: After some delays, Death Stranding has now finally made its way to PC.

The PC version of Death Stranding was originally supposed to launch this June 2nd, but due to the pandemic forcing the team to work from home, it has been delayed. As such, you can expect Death Stranding to make its way to Steam and the Epic Games Store on July 14th.

If you're curious what sort of PC you'll need to actually run Death Stranding, however, you might be interested to hear that Kojima Productions have now also revealed the minimum and recommended PC system requirements. Here's what you'll need:

Minimum (30fps, 1280x720):

OS: Windows 10
Processor: Intel Core i5-3470 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTX 1050 3 GB or AMD Radeon RX 560 4 GB
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 80 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX compatible

Recommended (30fps, 1920x1080):

OS: Windows 10
Processor: Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTX 1050 TI 4 GB or AMD Radeon RX 570 4 GB
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 80 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX compatible

Recommended (60fps, 1920x1080):

OS: Windows 10
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB or AMD Radeon RX 590
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 80 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX compatible

While there's nothing too out of the ordinary here given the visual fidelity Death Stranding is going for, I do feel it's worth highlighting the fact that the minimum specs are based on the 1280x720 resolution. So if you're planning to play on 1920x1080, even on the lowest settings, it's probably a good idea to be a bit above the bare minimum requirements - just to be on the safe side.
