DEATH STRANDING: Director's Cut System Requirements

To run the Death Stranding Director's Cut system requirements on PC, you'll need an AMD Radeon RX 560 graphics card, 8GB of RAM, and 80 GB of HD space.

Fortunately, it seems that the Director's Cut of Death Stranding requires no more from your PC compared to the original release from 2020. Therefore, the Death Stranding Director's Cut minimum requirements ask for a minimum CPU equivalent to an Intel Core i5-3470 and an AMD Radeon RX 560 graphics card, along with 8GB of RAM.

The Death Stranding Director's Cut PC specs are not too demanding - after all this was a game optimised for the last console generation Xbox One and PS4, even if it does have some additional content restored to it following the game's original release in 2020.
