Death Stranding Director’s Cut is finally available on Xbox consoles, developer Kojima Productions announced earlier today.
Death Stranding fans, rejoice! The critically acclaimed Death Stranding Director’s Cut is now available on Xbox Series X and S, bringing the title to even more players.
Originally released as a PlayStation exclusive, this “genre-defying” game has gained audiences with its unique blend of open-world exploration, delivery missions, and cryptic storytelling.
The news was shared by Kojima Productions in a press email, released earlier today: “Kojima Productions and video game publisher 505 Games proudly announce Death Stranding Director’s Cut, Hideo Kojima’s definitive vision of the critically-acclaimed and genre-defying epic, is now available on Xbox Series XS and Windows PC, in time for Death Stranding’s 5-Year Anniversary,” the email reads.
“Kojima Productions will continue its focus on bringing their award-winning IP, Death Stranding to more platforms and audiences.”
Kojima Productions Now Owns the Death Stranding IP
Alongside the Xbox release, Hideo Kojima also confirmed that Kojima Productions now fully owns the Death Stranding IP, previously controlled by Sony Interactive Entertainment. This transfer of ownership is a major milestone for Kojima Productions, giving the studio complete creative freedom over the future of the franchise.
In a press statement, Kojima expressed his gratitude to the fans and the Xbox community: “It is my pleasure to finally announce that Death Stranding Director’s Cut will be delivered to Xbox players.”
“I would like to thank all the fans who have stayed connected with us as well as everyone in the Xbox community who have been patiently waiting. Kojima Productions (Death Stranding) will continue to connect more and more players around the world, so please stay tuned.”
To celebrate the Xbox launch and Death Stranding’s 5-year anniversary, the game is currently on sale at a 50% discount for a limited time, for $19.99. This is the perfect opportunity for Xbox players to experience the Director’s Cut, which includes expanded content, new missions, and improved visuals.
Looking ahead, fans of Death Stranding have even more to anticipate with Death Stranding 2 On The Beach, the next installment in the Death Stranding franchise. Earlier this year, the developer released a new trailer for the game during PlayStation’s State of Play.
