The Rise of Hideo Kojima: Death Stranding Director's Cut Arrives on Xbox Series X|S

Hideo Kojima's Journey

Renowned director Hideo Kojima, known for the iconic Metal Gear Solid series, has ventured into new IPs after parting ways with Konami. His creation, Death Stranding, initially a PlayStation exclusive, has now made its way to Xbox Series X|S.

From PlayStation to Xbox

Originally acclaimed as one of the best games on PS4, Death Stranding has expanded its reach to PS5, Windows PC, and Mac. Despite Sony's initial block, the game has finally landed on Xbox Series X|S as the Director's Cut, five years post its PS4 debut.

Price and Benefits

The game is priced at £34.99/$39.99, with an enticing 50% discount for the first two weeks, making it available at just £17.49/$19.99 until November 21, 2024. Additionally, purchasing the Xbox version grants access to the PC version at no extra cost, fostering cross-platform play.

Behind the Scenes

Kojima Productions now holds the rights to Death Stranding, enabling the game's expansion beyond its original PlayStation boundaries. While the sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, remains under Sony's publishing umbrella, limiting its availability on Xbox.

Looking Ahead

As games make their way to diverse platforms, it opens up opportunities for more players to experience them. Exclusive deals can restrict accessibility and prioritize profits over consumer interests. Let's hope for a future where consumer welfare takes center stage in the gaming industry.
