Death Stranding 2: On The Beach feels great on the PC (but not so great on the Steam Deck)

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach showcases impressive visual fidelity on the PlayStation 5, offering a captivating photo-realistic experience. The PC version, tested on a GeForce RTX 3080, Ryzen 5 5600X, and 32GB of RAM, performs well at 1440P and 60FPS, but struggles with frame drops and stutters, which were not present in the PS5 version. The game can achieve higher frame rates if uncapped, but reaching full 4K resolution requires careful graphics adjustments. On the Steam Deck, the game performs poorly, with frame rates fluctuating between 15-30FPS, making it unplayable. Despite its visual appeal, the PC port's performance issues hinder the overall experience.
