In a press release to of us over at PushSquare, the corporate mentioned that “matters relating to the PC release of Death Stranding are managed by Kojima Productions and 505 Games” and that “SIE has no involvement in this promotion.” Though 505 Games holds PC publishing rights to Death Stranding, it is a curious case the place Sony, not Kojima or 505, is the only IP proprietor.
Why Death Stranding Game Pass deal confused many
For many who may not remember, Sony funded and owns Death Stranding, and its trademark seems on the sport’s Game Pass trailer as effectively. Though this received’t be the primary time a Sony recreation lands on Game Pass, it is a uncommon deal the place an IP proprietor and growth funds supplier has allowed one model of the sport to go to a special occasion, who’s then additional allowed to publish the sport on a rival subscription service, albeit on PC solely.
Regardless of all of the comparisons we’re seeing on quite a few boards and web sites, it is a totally different situation than MLB The Present, which is completely owned by Main League Baseball. Sony’s San Diego Studio merely holds a multi-year growth deal, and was virtually strong-armed by MLB to launch the sport on different platforms or lose the license.
So, to summarize, Sony and Kojima Productions struck a reasonably uncommon deal that had SIE funding Death Stranding however handing over its PC model to a special occasion, with the promise that it’ll stay a PlayStation-console unique. Price noting, although, that this deal was struck effectively earlier than Sony determined to leap into the PC enviornment.
