Detect whenever the player is near the edges of the screen

Question

Hi!

I need to detect whenever my player is near the screen edge of my 2D game. I got some code but that only works for the left side and for the bottom. I need to be able to detect for all of the edges. How can I do such a thing?

Here's my code so far:

 void Update()
 {
     Vector3 screenPos = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(this.transform.position);
 
     if (transform.position.x > screenPos.x || transform.position.y > screenPos.y)
     {
         gc.PlayerDie();
     }
 }

I know there's a problem with it but I can't not solve it.

Any help is appreciated! Also, please try and post code in C# if code is necessary.

Thanks in advance!

     Vector3 screenPos = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(this.transform.position);
     
     if (screenPos.x < 0 || screenPos.y < 0 || 
         screenPos.x > Screen.width || screenPos.y > Screen.height)
     {
         gc.PlayerDie();
     }
