Out today on PC, Death Stranding: Director’s Cut features an updated version of the first – and currently only – game in the “beach genre” led by noted game designer and Batman fan Hideo Kojima.
On PC you can expect the same graphical improvements as in the regular edition of the game, with new content and improved gameplay features added to the story of protagonist Sam Porter Bridges. You can expect more weapons, gear, vehicles, modes, and missions, along with additional areas to explore, expanded storylines, and UI improvements.
The Director’s Cut originally released on PS5 in September last year, and the PC upgrade will cost you $10. Death Stranding has done well since launch, with the game topping 5 million sales on PS4 and PC as of March 2021.
As for Kojima, a recent report claimed that he is working with Microsoft on a new Xbox game, although this has yet to be confirmed or officially announced. In other strand genre news, Norman Reedus recently teased that Death Stranding 2 could be in development.
For our updated Death Stranding review on PS5, Justin Clark said: “The Director’s Cut still does an admirable job of enhancing this experience for maximum immersion. Even if it tries to move to something more accessible, there’s still nothing quite like this game. “
