Hey everyone,

Patch 1.2 for DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH is out now on Steam!

This update brings performance improvements for players on systems with limited PCI Express bandwidth, improves performance on Steam Deck, and contains various other bug fixes and improvements based on player feedback.

We’ve made optimizations to reduce the amount of data being transmitted between the GPU and CPU over the PCIe bus interface. This results in performance improvements across most hardware configurations, with most gains seen on systems that have limited PCIe bandwidth.

Handhelds like Steam Deck also benefit from these changes, and this patch includes additional optimizations focused on handheld devices, resulting in improved performance. We continue to work on additional performance improvements for Steam Deck.

We also want to give you an update on your reports and support requests regarding frame rate drops that can occur when using a sniper rifle scope. We have a fix in the works that will be available in an upcoming patch soon. If you are experiencing this, as a workaround, you can try lowering the Level of Detail and/or Texture Quality setting to improve your experience.

Thanks again to everyone for sharing feedback and helping us to further improve the game.

Keep on keeping on!
