Kojima Productions Announces July Release Date and Specs for Death Stranding

It's been known for a little while now that Death Stranding will make its PC debut via Steam and Epic Games Store, but Kojima Productions only recently announced that the title will debut on July 14. But I'm sure you're all wondering since it looked so great on the PlayStation 4, what could possibly be the PC specs for the title? Fortunately, Kojima Productions tweeted that as well:
