Death Stranding 2 Day-One Update Version 1.004 Released, But Seems to Bring a Potential Issue
[summaraize]
While Death Stranding 2: On the Beach isn’t available outside of Early Access until tomorrow, June 26. Kojima Productions has rolled out the Death Stranding 2 update 1.004, and this is a small download and is considered the game’s day-one update.
Don’t expect anything major from this, though it doesn’t seem to resolve one funny bug that players noticed in its early access state.
Death Stranding 2 Day-One Update Is Live and It’s a Mystery to Gamers
Clocking in at just 380 MB of disk space, the new Death Stranding 2 patch has no actual notes from Kojima Productions. However, it seems to have ushered in a bug or two.
On the game’s subreddit, one player has mentioned how the update has now caused the trains to fly.
Not only that, but it also appears to have affected the Performance Mode setting, locking it at 1080p, a problem corroborated by multiple gamers. It’s not ideal, and we expect Kojima Productions to follow up with another patch soon to resolve these two issues at the very least.
One Death Stranding 2 player has seemingly found a workaround for this new bug, and it’s an easy one to do. Simply load the game, and once it’s up, put it in Rest mode. When you boot it up again, it’ll be in 4K resolution glory with 60fps.
We’re on the lookout for any specific changes, but chances are, this is something performance-related that won’t have any front-facing impact on players.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will be officially released to everyone on June 26 (tomorrow).

My PS5 1.004 update is 29gb not 380mb. I wouldn’t have bought it if I knew the day 1 patch was this large. To large, can’t download it. Getting pretty tired of unfinished then released products!
