Death Stranding 2 PC Release Confirmed,Xbox Prospects dim
Los Angeles,CA – A PC version of Death Stranding 2,Hideo Kojima‘s highly anticipated sequel,has been officially confirmed through an ESRB rating,despite a lack of formal announcement from Sony or Kojima Productions. The listing signals the game’s eventual arrival on personal computers, mirroring the release strategy of the original death Stranding. Though, a key shift in publishing rights casts doubt on a potential Xbox release, disappointing fans hoping for cross-platform availability.
the original Death Stranding launched on PC eight months after its PlayStation 4 debut, published by 505 Games. This allowed for broader distribution, including availability on Xbox Game Pass. Death Stranding 2 is now published directly by Sony, considerably altering the landscape. Industry observers believe this change gives Sony greater control over the title’s distribution and makes an Xbox release-or inclusion in Xbox Game pass-far less likely.
The ESRB listing provides concrete evidence of the PC port, ending speculation about its development. While a specific release date remains unknown, the timing suggests an announcement could arrive as early as December, possibly at The Game Awards-an event Kojima has frequently used to unveil new projects. Sony’s direct publishing role, however, represents a major departure from the first game’s multi-platform approach, signaling a more exclusive future for the Death Stranding franchise.
