Figured it may deserve its own thread since more than likely we’ll see many mods come to it.

As for graphics options, you can set a maximum frame rate up to 240, change the shadow resolution, enable or disable ambient occlusion, choose from FXAA or TAA anti-aliasing, and turn sharpness, depth of field, and motion blur effects on or off. Admittedly, not the widest set of graphics options I've ever seen in a PC game, but it still offers a decent level of customisation. And if your PC is similar to mine specs-wise, you can just crank everything up to max anyway. There's no real-time ray tracing in Death Stranding, sadly, but it does have support for NVIDIA's DLSS 2.0, a new AI upscaling tech that lets you play in high resolutions with higher frame rates—and it actually works.

While my frame rate was fine in-game, I was getting a few dips in cutscenes, many of which involve lingering close-ups of impossibly detailed character models, and all kinds of fancy post-processing effects. But with DLSS, set to the 'quality' preset, everything was smoothed out—and with no perceptible loss of visual fidelity. I'm not gonna pretend I know exactly how deep learning super sampling works, but this video by NVIDIA does a decent job of explaining the basics. It's impressive stuff, but you will need a GPU from the RTX range to take advantage of it in Death Stranding and other supported games.

I would probably forced into exile for giving my opinions on Kojima's "games" overall, but I must say that he really can't seem to pull off an open world design to save his life.

I really enjoyed the game on PS4. I have it on PC now. If you're interested and want to save, the website cdkeys has it for $14.09 & you can get the Directors Cut upgrade for $8.99. It's reliable site. Used it to get a big discount on PS Plus last year.

The Xbox Game Pass version is not the Directors Cut.
 
So Sony slipped up and gave 505 full freedom to release the PC version on whatever platform they wanted.

Sony must be sore in their anuses after this and the fact all of their first party games will have to be released for PC at some point.
When the console era ends (and it will), Sony will die a slow death if they don't do something drastically different moving forward.

RIP Sonys future

Yeah it's weird. Sony fully funded the IP and it's owned by them but somehow 505 is able to do with it however they want lol.
