Death Stranding Coming to Xbox’s PC Game Pass

Notably, it was once a Sony exclusive
by Joe Wilcock on August 20, 2022   



Microsoft’s Xbox PC Game Pass is getting Death Stranding at 5 pm Pacific / 8 pm Eastern on August 23rd. Kojima’s latest spectacle had once been a Sony exclusive before receiving a PC port last year. Now, it is set to become the first Sony game to release on Microsoft’s PC Game Pass service. 
 

“The original version of Hideo Kojima’s critically-acclaimed and genre-defying epic lands on the Microsoft ecosystem for the first time, available to audiences who are subscribed to the PC version of Xbox Game Pass”

- Xbox 


Several Sony titles have already made the transition to PC in recent years with God of War, Horizon: Zero Dawn and Spider-Man being chief among them, but none have appeared on the Game Pass. Death Stranding has been able to bridge the gap thanks to Hideo Kojima’s relationship with Sony, having built up plenty of good faith with them over the years. It’s no coincidence that this news comes in the wake of Kojima announcing that his next title will be an Xbox exclusive, opening the doors for collaboration between Xbox and Sony, albeit minor. 
 


It is worth noting that the original 2019 version of Death Stranding will be made available as opposed to the Director’s Cut that was released earlier this year. PC players will subsequently miss out on some gameplay additions and content, all of which were outlined in the PlayStation blog:
 

“The enhancements and new content introduced to Director’s Cut can be experienced right from the beginning of the game. In addition to the adjustments made to guides and hints, new weapons and equipment, such as the “maser gun” and “support skeleton”, have also been introduced to help immerse players even further into the world of Death Stranding”

- Sony


Death Stranding is available on PS4, PS5 and PC, and as of August 23rd, it will be available on Xbox’s PC Game Pass!
