Given how much Sony has been promoting Death Stranding, lots of gamers (including us) thought that the game is a PS4 exclusive. Well, we were wrong. Kojima Productions recently announced that the new “Hideo Kojima Game” will also be released on PC in early Summer of 2020.
While it’s a bit of a surprise to see Kojima Productions announce a PC port of the game, it shouldn’t be too unexpected given that Kojima’s previous game before this (MGSV: The Phantom Pain) was also released on PC.
Thanks to all of you who have been supporting #DEATHSTRANDING!
DEATH STRANDING release on PS4 is November 8, 2019!!
Furthermore, KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS is happy to announce that DEATH STRANDING will be coming to PC in early summer of 2020!!#kojimaproductions #deathstrandingpc pic.twitter.com/Sk4clWWY1X— KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS (Eng) (@KojiPro2015_EN) October 28, 2019
Death Stranding getting a PC release next year is great news, especially for gamers who play on PC only and have no plans on getting a console. It’s also interesting to see how the game will run on PC, especially considering that it runs on Guerilla Games’ Decima engine, a game engine that has only been used on PS4 exclusives so far.
We’re incredibly excited to announce that #505Games will publish the PC version of @Kojima_Hideo’s highly-anticipated title Death Stranding.
Coming Summer 2020.
