After several years of arduous work, Sam Porter Bridges has finally made it to Xbox. Today, Kojima Productions revealed that the Xbox Series X/S now has the director's cut of Death Stranding. The port will be offered at launch for 50% off for "a limited time." 2019 saw the release of Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima's first independent game after a tumultuous breakup with Konami. The game has been ported to PC, Mac, and iOS, and two years later, the director's cut—which isn't truly a director's cut—was released on the PS5. The company also released the game on Luna, Amazon's new game streaming service, as part of today's announcement.
The announcement coincides with Kojima Productions' significant growth after the original Death Stranding's popularity. A24 is working on a live-action movie and a sequel, both of which are scheduled for release in 2025. In a press release, the company stated that it "now has full ownership of the Death Stranding IP" and that it will keep expanding the game's reach to "more platforms and audiences." In addition to Death Stranding, Kojima Productions is working on a mystery new tactical spy game and the horror game OD.
