One
day
before
the
game’s
5th
anniversary,

Death
Stranding
has
sidled
onto

Xbox
in
a
surprise
port
that
came
out
of
nowhere,
rocking
an
affordable
price-tag
of
$19.99.

This
is
the
Director’s
Cut
edition,
so
it
comes
with
a
few
bonuses
goodies

“It
is
my
pleasure
to
finally
announce
that
Death
Stranding
Director’s
Cut
will
be
delivered
to
Xbox
players,”
said
crazy
videogame
genius
Hideo
Kojima.
“I
would
like
to
thank
all
the
fans
who
have
stayed
connected
with
us
as
well
as
everyone
in
the
Xbox
community
who
have
been
patiently
waiting.
Kojima
Productions
(Death
Stranding)
will
continue
to
connect
more
and
more
players
around
the
world,
so
please
stay
tuned.”

The
game
was
previously
only
available
on
console
on

PS4
and

PS5,
though
it
did
appear
on

PC
Game
Pass.

Kojima
Productions
also
proudly
announced
that
it
now
fully
owns
the
rights
to
the
Death
Stranding
IP.
Previously,
it
was
Sony
that
owned
the
rights,
which
is
presumably
why
Kojima
has
now
been
able
to
port
the
game
to
Xbox.
The
PC
version
was
published
by
505
Games.

The
sequel,

Death
Stranding
2:
On
the
Beach,
is
still
being
worked
on
in
partnership
with
Sony
and
is
currently
only
announced
for
PS5.
I
feel
fairly
confident
in
assuming
this
means
the
sequel
will
be
a
timed
exclusive
for
Sony.
Hopefully,
Xbox
owners
won’t
have
to
wait
five
years
for
it.

you

Stranding,
