In order that’s a lock, proper? Death Stranding is coming to Game Pass!

Now, earlier than your throw your toys out in shock and shock at a PlayStation unique coming to Xbox consoles, it’s really the PC Game Pass twitter account that’s been tweeting it. So no, Death Stranding is just not out of the blue going to drop on Microsoft’s consoles, and Sony financing the sport’s growth and holding the copyright and trademark definitely precludes the sport coming to their arch-rival’s platform.

It’s additionally straightforward to neglect that Sony didn’t publish Death Stranding on PC. Whereas the PlayStation producer now has a well-established technique of bringing its PS4 exclusives over to PC – beginning with Horizon Zero Dawn in 2020, and most just lately seeing Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered ported throughout – Death Stranding on PC predates all of them. It was as a substitute delivered to PC by Kojima Productions with 505 Games publishing the title.

This all appears like a scenario just like the one which noticed MLB: The Show ending up on Xbox Game Pass for the final two years. Sony probably isn’t going to deliver their video games to Microsoft’s platforms and storefronts of their very own will, however when different publishers are concerned, they’re capable of finding methods to make it occur (and I’m positive Xbox boss Phil Spencer takes nice pleasure in doing so). On this case, it could be so simple as 505 Games doing what they’re totally inside their rights to with the PC model of the sport.

PC is likely one of the finest locations to play Death Stranding. Following on from the PS4 launch, Death Stranding on PC was a really completed and properly optimised port of the sport, surpassing the console model till the discharge of Death Stranding Director’s Lower for PS5.

In our Death Stranding PC review, Miguel mentioned:

“It’s a story well worth revisiting or experiencing for the first time on PC. The pacing of the game can certainly drag to a screeching halt through the middle, but with boosted frame rate and crisper visuals, you’ll likely be too mesmerised by the hauntingly gorgeous world of Hideo Kojima’s latest masterpiece to even care about the uneven story beats.”
