Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding is now available for Xbox in a surprise release

Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding is now available for Xbox Series X|S in a surprise release.

The developer announced the Xbox version in a social media post on Thursday, and confirmed that it will be available at a 50% discount for a limited time, which means it costs $19.99 in the US, and £17.49 in the UK.

The announcement was made as the clock ticked to midnight in Japan, marking exactly five years since Death Stranding was first released for PlayStation 4, which could suggest that an exclusivity agreement expired.

According to the game’s Xbox.com page, Death Stranding includes support for Xbox Achievements, cloud saves, Play Anywhere, as well as the Director’s Cut features such as Photo Mode, Ultra-Wide Monitor support and more.

Sony published Death Stranding for PS4 in November 2019 and 505 released it for PC in July 2020. The Director’s Cut hit PS5 in 2021 and was released for PC in early 2022.

A sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is currently in development exclusively for PlayStation 5. However, creator Hideo Kojima has strengthened his ties with Xbox with the announcement of new game OD.

“I really like to challenge new things,” Kojima said at The Game Awards in December. “With help of Xbox Game Studios and using their Cloud Gaming technology, I’m doing this together. It is a game, don’t get me wrong. At the same time it’s a movie at the same time it’s a new form of media.”

Death Stranding 2 was announced in December 2022 with a reveal trailer at The Game Awards. A reveal trailer confirmed that Norman Reedus will be returning, as well as Léa Seydoux, who played the character Fragile in the first game. Troy Baker will also star.

Kojima Productions then announced last year that it has teamed up with A24 to bring a live-action film adaptation of Death Stranding to the big screen.
