Death Stranding Stealthily, Sneaks onto Xbox Series X & S

Hideo Kojima's highly praised Death Stranding Director’s Cut has now officially arrived on Xbox Series X|S, marking its first release on Microsoft consoles. Originally launched as a PlayStation exclusive, the game later became available on PC.

In Death Stranding, players step into the role of Sam Bridges, a courier tasked with reconnecting isolated communities in a post-apocalyptic America. The game's eerie world is shaped by the "Death Stranding" event, which weakened the boundary between the living and the dead, resulting in encounters with supernatural entities. Players navigate challenging terrains, delivering supplies and establishing a communications network to bring hope to a fractured society.

The Xbox Series X|S Director’s Cut edition includes several upgrades, such as high frame rates, 4K Ultra HD visuals, and ultra-wide monitor support (available only for PC). Players also have access to an advanced photo mode for capturing the game’s stunning scenery. Additionally, the Xbox version supports Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing players to buy the game once and play it on both Windows PC and Xbox consoles. Previously, it was only accessible via the Windows Store.

According to the Xbox Store, this edition is optimized for Xbox Series X|S, featuring Xbox achievements and cloud saves. It’s also currently discounted by up to 50%, lowering the price from £34.99 to £17.50.

Death Stranding Director’s Cut precedes the upcoming sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, which has been announced exclusively for the PS5. Published by 505 Games, Death Stranding Director’s Cut is now available on PC and Xbox consoles.
