Death Stranding 2 – PC

March 2026

HDR analysis Death Stranding 2 on PC.

HDR is broken if you use DLSS 😪

With DLSS the game only outputs 300 nits maximum so highlights, like the Sun in the sky, looks totally washed out. See picture 1.

In picture 2 I have used the Pico upscaler instead and here HDR is not broken (or not so broken☺️).

Other than that HDR is implemented the same way as on PS5. See my PS5 analysis.

The issues I pointed out in my PS5 analysis seems fixed in the RenoDX HDR mod that has already released 👍 Picture 4 is with the RenoDX mod.

In picture 3 you can see the issues the Modder has fixed with RenoDX 👍

So PC gamers should use the RenoDX HDR mod, as always.

There is a RenoDX mod version that works with DLSS.

Turn on HDR in-game and leave in-game HDR settings at default.

I will over the next days play Death Stranding more and make updates if relevant.

I recommend visiting the RenoDX Discord Server to get updated info and to support the Modders.
