Verdict: STRUGGLING
Technical performance analysis indicates that playing Death Stranding 2 on Intel Iris Xe Graphics will likely result in a struggle to maintain playable frame rates. At 1080p resolution, you can expect an average of around 20-30 FPS, with significant frame drops in graphically intensive scenes. The integrated GPU may bottleneck performance due to its limited power compared to dedicated graphics cards.
✅ Pros & ❌ Cons
