Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding has officially launched on Xbox Series X|S. The developer announced in a social media post on Thursday, surprising everyone across the globe. Kojima’s weird, beautiful, package-delivery simulator is finally on Xbox Series X|S. It’s a total stealth drop, announced Thursday on social media. There is no hype buildup and no lengthy teasers. Just a “Hey, it’s here now,” and the game is live. Classic Kojima…
Now, let’s talk about what Xbox players are getting. You’re getting the Director’s Cut, which means all the good stuff like Photo Mode, Ultra-Wide support, extra missions, and those weird little gadgets Kojima decided needed to be in there. Plus, it’s got Xbox Achievements and cloud saves because, let’s be honest, we’re all kind of achievement hunters, right? The Play Anywhere feature is here, too, so if you want to hop between your Series X and PC, it’s seamless.
Oh, and here’s the kicker: there’s a launch discount. For a limited time, it’s 50% off. Half-price for what’s one of the most unique games you’ll ever play? Not bad at all. I mean, say what you will about Kojima’s eccentricity, but Death Stranding was unlike anything else when it dropped, and it’s still pretty unique today. The story is a mix of mind-bending sci-fi and genuinely touching moments, and the gameplay is all about connecting a shattered world, kind of on the nose, but it works.
This is the time to dive in for anyone who hasn’t played it yet. Xbox players have been waiting forever to experience this game, and now it’s here with all the extra content. Imagine being Sam Bridges, lugging packages across beautiful yet barren landscapes, avoiding crazy BTs, and dealing with that extremely Kojima-esque story. It’s a lot, but that’s part of the charm.
