As promised, and with several first-party PlayStation games already receiving a patch for the Power Save feature, it’s now Death Stranding: On the Beach’s turn today.

Kojima Productions has released Death Stranding 2 update 1.009 (complete version 1.009.000) on PS5, which not only adds the Power Save feature but also includes other changes, though nothing major.

For the details, read on below.

Death Stranding 2’s Latest Update on Oct. 21 Adds New Features via Patch 1.009

Death Stranding quick resume

While the PlayStation support studio that usually releases the changelog hasn’t said anything yet, we can confirm that the update does add the Power Save feature. For those unaware of what it is, Sony rolled it out last month as a system update. The Power Save feature is a mod that runs the console at less power, at the cost of lower frame rate and resolution.

One Reddit user said that this also adds Mandarin as a dub option and some “minor performance improvements,” which means that some bugged areas might now be fixed.

Another game that got the patch recently is Bend Studio’s Days Gone Remastered, as well as the Demon’s Souls PS5 version.

Nothing has been announced for Death Stranding 2 in terms of new content, though there is a chance that more patches are on the way to fix any nagging issues.

In related news, Death Stranding 2 director Hideo Kojima has recently said that AI (artificial intelligence) will be able to create remakes and sequels at some point in the future.
