Death Stranding Director's Cut is now available for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max devices, courtesy of 505 Games.
March 31st, 2025 – KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS is proud to announce that DEATH STRANDING has connected over 20 million porters across PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, PC, XBox, iOS platforms, and Amazon Luna.
I have been slowly working my way though this game for months. I keep playing other games in between but I want to finish it before DS2.
I ended up with over 140 hours on it, but I wasn't exactly rushing. Ended up seeing to it that all roads were rebuilt too.
There are still a few Half Life missions left that I think I'll do.
Man I love this game. Platinumed it and played through it a 2nd time just for fun. I'm day 1 with bells on for the sequel
In still drop in this world from time to time. I just played it yesterday.
Review - If you are looking for a truly unique game, with an off-the-walls story, Death Stranding Director’s Cut will be seen as a treat.
It got a lot of hate from people who weren’t going to play it because it was only on PlayStation at launch but it’s a unique game that I recommend to anyone who wants to play something a little different. It’s a little slow in the beginning(like a lot of games) but the atmosphere is great, gameplay is fun, and the story is weird which I always appreciate. Definitely buy it. We need more weird shit in gaming especially at this level of quality
This game was a breathe of fresh air in an industry of recycled genres. Playing through it felt like taking a nice shower after a week. Glad it has gotten a good reception finally by non ps/pc players.
Death Stranding Director's Cut has continued to sell like hotcakes on the Xbox Store after its surprising debut, taking the second top place.
Without ZERO marketing investment!
Crow was served to those who predict that DS sales on Xbox would flop!
Now that Kojima owns the IP, I definitely can see DS2 coming to Xbox rather sooner than later!
Should run really well ... even on Series S ... given the base game was made for PS4.
Um, the price is 50% off. The bigger story would be if it WASN'T doing anything.
I must say I am surprising.
Even at a discount it doesn’t take anything away from the feat. Let’s remember DS was kinda like a surprise drop, thus very little marketing.
It shows as long as the game is good and price is reasonable, you can still sell well on xbox
Careful! The corporate lusting Sony fans will downvote you... Gamers first!!
“ A major part of Death Stranding Director’s Cut’s success on the Xbox Store is the massive 50% off sale, allowing both new and old players to grab the game on the platform.”
With that much of a price reduction it would be a real shame if it didn’t sell well.
Yep that's why I said this lol

Question is will they show up for DS2 whenever that gets released for Xbox?
Unless we see the sales number we don't know if it's selling like hot cakes. Being ahead of call of duty for a day when it's on gamepass doesn't really say a million sales(which is a selling like hot cakes number)
But it is outselling the full game call of duty if you look at the image on the article it is only behind the 27 dollar COD Vault edition upgrade.

Its an exception and not the norm. If you want to argue that then go see Xbox own reports and all the information from the FTC releases have shown without a doubt Xbox gamers do NOT buy games. Nowhere close to their competitors
...not arguing anything, its just an interesting observation. Make of it what you will.
"ts an exception and not the norm"
Yet, all these companies continue to make the same error by releasing their games on a system where sales are low. Why don't they heed the advice of Chevalier, who seems to understand better than market analysts that Xbox gamers don't buy as expected? Consider the millions of dollars these companies could save by not producing an Xbox Series S version and paying for quality assurance, among other expenses.
And to think that there's a strong rumor that Black Myth Wukong might be released on Xbox next year, I thought that Game Science knew better.
Chevalier,
Man that FTC shit is old now, the data at that time wasn't even the most up to date, so now it's really not even viable information anymore.
And then you say DS is "exception", if this is selling, and Cod is selling, and the vault edition is selling, then we can clearly see it's not only this one game.
By your logic, who obviously knows better than developers, no game should launch on Xbox...it's such a stupid narrative you keep running.
PS sales will always be higher because the have more console sales by double or more...the percentages matter. So just stop with the foolishness already, when you really think about this line you will see how stupid it sounds..
"without a doubt Xbox gamers do NOT buy games."
Read it again, you don't say, low sales even if only 100 people bought a game on Xbox, then your statement would still be super wrong.
Honestly it's easier to release games later to Xbox because they would have made all their money on competing systems. There's a reason why so many games outright skip Xbox altogether. This doesn't change that AT all.
Go ahead and compare games that only go to Playstation and Nintendo and you will see significant amount of games don't bother. In fact while you guys want to say that the FTC stuff is old it doesn't change the fact that Microsoft/Xbox acknowledged that Playstation has literally 1000's of games skipping Xbox. That's a FACT.
@thesoftware730
Oh yeah?! Prove it. Notice you can't ever site any examples?! You know why because these are literally exceptions NOT the norm. Go ahead post some links that prove what you're saying then? Oh right you would need proof and you don't got that either.
Can you name a single 1st party game that Xbox studios created that even moved 10 million copies in the last decade?! No? Because there's none of those too.
Bro you yapping if Xbox does or dnt yall find anything to complain or discredit touch ass or grass
