Publisher 505 Games and developer Kojima Productions have released Death Stranding Director’s Cut for Xbox Series, PC via Microsoft Store, and Luna, the companies announced. November 8 marks the fifth anniversary of the original Death Stranding‘s release on PlayStation 4.

While the game will regularly cost $39.99, it is currently available at a limited-time 50 percent-off discount price of $19.99.

Additionally, Kojima Productions confirmed that the studio now has full ownership of the Death Stranding intellectual property, and will focus on bringing the property to more platforms and audiences. The property was previously a registered trademark of Sony Interactive Entertainment.

“It is my pleasure to finally announce that Death Stranding Director’s Cut will be delivered to Xbox players,” Kojima Productions boss Hideo Kojima said in a press release. “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.”

Death Stranding Director’s Cut first launched for PlayStation 5 on September 24, 2021, followed by PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on March 30, 2022, and iOS and Mac on January 30, 2024. Sony Interactive Entertainment published the PlayStation 5 version and the PlayStation 4 version of the original game, and will also publish Death Stranding 2: On the Beach when it launches for PlayStation 5 in 2025.

Here is an overview of the game, via Kojima Productions:

The ground-breaking experience from legendary game creator Hideo Kojima, Death Stranding Director’s Cut also features the acting and voice talents led by a star-studded cast including Norman Reedus as Sam Bridges, Mads Mikkelsen, Lea Seydoux, Margaret Qualley, and Lindsay Wagner. Death Stranding Director’s Cut challenges players to reconnect a fractured society after the cataclysmic “Death Stranding” event. This has opened a doorway between the living and the dead, leading to creatures from the afterlife roaming the fallen world marred by a desolate society. Carrying the disconnected remnants of humanity’s future in his hands, players take the role of Sam Bridges as he embarks on a mission to deliver hope to humanity by connecting the last survivors of a decimated America. Director’s Cut is the definitive experience which also introduces a new ‘Ruined Factory’ location, a treacherous underground compound packed with fresh dangers. Sam also now has a wealth of new delivery assists, from cargo catapults and ramps, to a stabiliser which features thrusters that assist with cargo weight shifts and reduce the impact of landing when jumping from high areas. Melee combat has been amped up with the addition of more moves including a drop kick, whilst the new Maser Gun can stun enemies and short-circuit vehicles temporarily with electricity. Finding the perfect weapon loadout is now achievable thanks to the new firing range location, whilst the new Racetrack enables players to race and compete in time-attack competitions against other players who are connected online. Protagonist Sam Bridges can even ride Buddy Bots to traverse the wastelands with greater ease.

DEATH STRANDING — motionresque [x]

I'm so crazy, I replayed the fight with Higgs and it looked like his hair was already white even before the last part. It's really strange, because when he's wearing a hood, his hair should be darker, not lighter, I don't know…

Also, does anyone have any idea what that white, illuminated arch on Amelie's beach might be? I've seen it before, but never really stopped to look at it. It reminds me a lot of the lighting on the BB pod support…

I know he means this literally but imagine just telling some guy you've known for ten mins, "Anyway I need you to shower for my research".

Do you actually not even get so much as a trophy for rebuilding every single road in vanilla Death Stranding

Showing up at Port Knot City for the first time like "Sorry I ruined so many of your sperm and egg samples and attracted a delusional terrorist to your parking lot. I hope you guys are doing okay with everything otherwise 👍"

DEATH STRANDING — motionresque [x]

[bidonica]

You know how out there it's full of memes about the wind farm in Death Stranding being its own circle of hell? That's the Junk Dealer/Chiral Artist mission for me. Hated it the first time around, and now that I'm older, wiser, and generally better at this game, I still want to punch them in the face

(oh and I went into that mission severely underequipped, but that's on me for not double checking when resuming from my last save)

Anyway, first things first. One of the improvements of the Director's Cut is that hot springs have rubber ducks now.

The moment I got to the Junk Dealer and saw Her I got war flashbacks

Fucking manic pixie dream girl...

Her asshole boyfriend sends me to:

- retrieve equipment in a ghost infested area while simultanously not letting me fabricate weapons at his shelter

- dispose of his garbage by *checks notes* throwing it in a tar lake

On a doylist level, this is a tutorial for when you'll have to do this with a nuclear bomb later in the game. On a watsonian level, this doesn't seem very environmentally conscious to me??

- lastly, I have to deliver that fucking hourglass to her but I have to carry it by hand because it's extra fragile which in layman's terms means I have to play this whole stretch of the game long pressing R2. Did I say that npc is an asshole?

Unfortunately, once you deliver the hourglass you are ambushed with this surprise

She's like, take me with you to the love of my life. And you, Norman Reedus, are like: okay sure why not. Naively you think you're going to experience taking a stroll with an npc companion. AND THEN THIS MOTHERFUCKER SENDS HERSELF AS CARGO IN A BODY BAG

Like girl? You are young and able bodied? You can use your legs to do quirky silly little poses and not to climb a couple of slopes? Also 45kg? Does she have bird bones?

Also why does she moan so much at random times while I'm carrying her like she's supplies for a Himalayan expedition. Is the body bag a fetish thing. Ma'am this is a Wendy's.
