Kojima Productions' action-adventure title, DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, has finally arrived on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. It has immediately claimed the 3rd spot on Steam's global top sellers list, boasting an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' user rating.

DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH picks up 11 months after the events of the original. Sam Porter Bridges is back, leaving the UCA to embark on a new journey across the Australian continent to expand the Chiral Network. Beyond the dreaded Timefall, you'll now face natural disasters like earthquakes, wildfires, and sandstorms that disrupt your delivery routes. Combat has also seen a significant overhaul; it’s no longer just about running away, as you can now learn new survival skills and take a more aggressive stance against foes. Plus, the inventory and map UI improvements have been met with a warm welcome.

The PC version brings some well-deserved visual polish. Frame rate caps are a thing of the past, and there is full support for ultra-wide monitors, allowing you to enjoy even the cutscenes in a 21:9 aspect ratio. Throw in support for NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS for upscaling and frame generation, and you have a recipe for some seriously flexible graphic customisation.

As of March 20, the Steam user sentiment is 'Overwhelmingly Positive' (96% positive from 1,521 reviews). Players are singing praises for what they call a 'flawless' PC port. Even on high-end rigs, users are reporting a buttery smooth experience at 4K resolution with over 100 frames per second. It seems the refined combat, stealth, and quality-of-life adjustments are hitting all the right notes.

Elsewhere on the charts, the annual Spring Sale has caused quite a stir. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Resident Evil 3 have both hit a 90% discount, propelling them to 2nd and 5th place respectively, while Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are also making a strong showing at the top.

In the daily peak Concurrent Players chart, Crimson Desert has debuted with a bang, surpassing 230,000 players to land at 5th place. That said, the initial reception is a bit bumpy, with players flagging concerns over controls and general user experience. Meanwhile, Apex Legends is holding steady at 232,154 players, managing to keep much of the audience it gained during the Gundam collaboration for over a week now.
