Additionally, players on PC with high-end PC hardware will have the additional option to enable
Ray Tracing
on reflections and
Ambient Occlusion
via additional settings. When enabled, ray-traced reflections are applied on surfaces such as water and tar, while ray-traced ambient occlusion applies ambient lighting effects to scenes, resulting in more realistic shadows in crevices, corners, and between objects. These additional PC options are aimed at players with powerful hardware that want to push visual fidelity beyond the “Very High” graphics settings the game already offers. Ray Tracing is not part of the minimum or recommended specifications for the core experience and is not required to enjoy the game as intended.

Earlier this month we travelled to the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, deep in the California desert to Font’s Point, the inspiration for the opening scenes of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH with our friends at DNSYS to test the DEATH STRANDING themed Z1 Exoskeleton. It was a unique opportunity to showcase our partnership with DNSYS, driven by a common goal of generating inspiration. We took a team of content creators into the desert and allowed them to test the Z1 Exoskeletons in the real environment that inspired the opening of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH.
