Death Stranding 2 adds 'To the Wilder' difficulty on PC

Death Stranding 2's PC launch may have been overshadowed a bit by Crimson Desert, but the game earned praise for both the Hideo Kojima story and its delivery-sim sandbox. Players who favor the delivery gameplay, PC Gamer's Morgan Park noted, often share the same complaint: it's too easy.

For the PC release Kojima Productions added a new difficulty option called "To the Wilder" to address that feedback. Vehicles, upgrades, and shared infrastructure from other players can trivialize flawless deliveries, so the studio boosted challenges: Yoshiike said the effect of Timefall is "particularly pronounced" in To the Wilder, making resource management "almost a requirement," and forcing players to plan missions and test tool combinations that mattered less on lower difficulties.
