Death Stranding has launched on Xbox Series X and S, marking its first appearance on the platform after being a PS4 exclusive. The release coincides with Kojima Productions gaining full ownership of the Death Stranding IP, allowing them to expand its reach. The Director's Cut version, now available with a 50% launch discount, includes new features and locations. This move raises speculation about a potential Xbox release for the upcoming sequel, Death Stranding 2, which remains a PS5 exclusive. Kojima Productions is also working on other projects for Xbox and Sony.
Death Stranding Director’s Cut is now available for Xbox Series, Windows, and Amazon Luna, marking the game's expansion beyond its original PlayStation release. Kojima Productions, which now fully owns the Death Stranding IP, aims to bring the game to more platforms. The Director’s Cut, featuring new content and enhancements, is currently offered at a discounted price of $19.99. This release coincides with the fifth anniversary of the original game's launch on PlayStation 4.
Hideo Kojima updated fans on the progress of Death Stranding 2, indicating that Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR) work is nearing completion and Japanese voice over recordings are set to begin. Despite his wish to focus on game creation and reduce travel, Kojima is involved in multiple projects, including an Xbox game titled Overdose, a collaboration with Avengers, a Death Stranding movie, and various video projects. He also plans to add another writing series, revive "Hide Radio," and run a special program on "HideTube."
