These past few years, we’ve seen numerous hints at a PC version of Death Stranding. Yesterday, Kojima Productions released a brand new trailer for its debut title and another hint surfaced from the man who had previously leaked the game’s release date.
Italian journalist Antonio Fucito claimed during a TwitchTV stream that Death Stranding will be coming to the PC after its console release. The game is currently scheduled for a November 8th release on PS4, meaning that we may see this game hitting our platform sometime in 2020.
As Antonio Fucito said:
“The PS4 cover didn’t have the “Only on PS” label because DS it’s coming to PC at a later date, that’s the deal signed between Kojima and Sony, the game will be a timed PS4 exclusive and will be available on PC later on (won’t be available on Xbox), i don’t know if it’s a 6 or 12 months exclusive”
This isn’t the first time we hear about a possible PC release of Death Stranding. Back in 2015, Sony and Kojima Productions stated that the game would come to the PC after its PS4 release. Furthermore, and earlier this year, Hideo Kojima did not confirm nor denied a PC version of Death Stranding.
It’s worth pointing out that Fucito may be merely guessing here due to the fact that the PS4 cover does not feature the “Only on PS” label. Sony and Kojima Productions clearly state in the trailer that the cover art is subject to change so it’s not set on stone yet whether the box case will lack the “Only on PS” label yet. In other words, take everything you just read with a grain of salt. There have been so far numerous hints towards a PC release for Death Stranding, however things may change in the future.
Last but not least, here is the latest gameplay trailer that Kojima Productions released!

GabeN & Kojima’s smiles confirmed it for me months ago:

Is it me or Gabe lost some weight?
Or its just Kojima being very very thin
Jornalist: are you making Half-Life 3, is Death Stranding coming to PC?
Gaben & Kojima: both making strange noises.
?
Gabe looks much less homeless with a haircut. Then again he’s a billionaire so I guess he can do whatever tf he wants.
Well i’m poor, and i still can do whatever i want no?
no you can’t
?
haha says who?
Of course you can.. why do people bring up money or social status when it comes to freedom in general.. The fact that you can have a style and not care about acceptance from the rest of the world for example its not a matter of financial status but how much the individual cares about other people opinions.
Wow man, take it easy, it was just a joke!
its not a matter of financial status but how much the individual cares about other people opinions.
It can also be a matter of employment.
Third party exclusives don’t stay exclusive.
It is known.
Konami is stupid and is one of the few exceptions. Sony didn’t pay for anything except a bribe. You understand Konami is a developer and publisher, people don’t pay for their games to get developed – they do.
Death Stranding trademark owned by Sony.
Funding and marketing provided by Sony.
First-party proprietary engine by Sony.
I hope you’re a man of faith.
Don’t hold your breath, BEGGARS. That “journalist” is just guessing based on a lack of information and research on his part. This is the cover straight from Amazon, and as you can see, it does in fact have the “Only on Playstation” in the top right. go on Amazon and search it for yourself.

Oh good a resident pony has appeared.
Hi.
Next argument? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8faeb2d14e8f4b0d297308111816e959c6f7ae1ed8f4ee42de561339d8a36a9d.jpg
Fair enough. Still wouldn’t hold my breath though. Decima engine + Sony made such a big deal when they got Kojima on board. I doubt it will ever come to PC. Still, my point was to disprove the theory in this article and I did just that.
Your disqus filter is garbage.
It will come to PC. Kojima isn’t stupid enough to ignore money. PC is guaranteed sales for years whereas the second PS5 comes out, the only way to keep making money off of DS is to port it to PS5.
Unless the rumors about Sony removing their heads from their bums are true and they implement some continuity from PS4.
Nah… Maybe 10 years later, like all all the other 3rd party exclusives.
DBH came out last year on PS. FFX came out on PC 1 year after the PS3 version, maybe 2.
Only exception though. And it probably has something to do with Quantic Dream wanting to break ties with Sony. Heavy Rain and beyond: Two Souls came out ages ago.
Yes they did.
The logical argument being that the crap cell processor made it difficult for crappy devs – like QD – to port the games to PC. Seeing as PS4 is x86, they ported the games to PS4, and from there it’s just another step to PC.
It isn’t a coincidence that all these PS3 games came to PC at the same time or soon after they came to PS4.

Only on playstation. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6bb58e8226e5f6ac16e796085c90227e19dd24219b6715d69a23e9a9ebc6b99b.jpg
Disregard this comment.
“only on playstation”
I would just make you notice the tiny “Art subject to change” at the bottom of the cover, something that makes me think that also the Only on PS could get removed… also on the UK cover of Nioh there was that label, and 9 months later it was released on PC. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f6ba30da8b521bafc2a07d3d50c2f3cd3e78bb0ebab22f5dcb64c8f3254d25bf.jpg
Another fine example. Every third party PS4 exclusive is on PC right now except for Bloodbourne, that is actually released. Maybe not the Japan exclusive ones.
I wouldn’t say literally. Bloodborne, Ratchet and Clank, Gravity Rush 2, Persona (this one might come to PC though), Until Dawn…
Persona probably never will. People have been asking Atlus for years and Sega only recently started porting their games to PC. Until Dawn either.
Funny you say that since Persona actually has the highest chance to come out on PC out of all the exclusives. Atlus released Catherine on PC so Persona wouldn’t be that far fetched.
When they release Dragon’s Crown, then I’ll change my mind.
“The PS4 cover didn’t have the “Only on PS” label because DS it’s coming to PC at a later date”
The label isn’t mentioned anywhere on Playstation site for Sony games that have not yet released.
If you look for DS at retailer websites, including Amazon, they have a picture of the box cover with the exclusive stamp.
Errrr… Just look what @SirCaccola:disqus posted here and have a good cry.
I’m gonna play the beta version on the peasants machine and if there’s a final version later on PC, then I’ll play it again.
Idk about the game but the trailer was incredible.
They’re graduated at Ubisoft Uni
LOL. Yea well we’ll see about that but i get the point.
I wonder how decima engine will run on pc
It will run great because Kojima learn a lot about PC architecture from MGSV PC version…if horizon zero dawn coming to PC,it will run great too. But of course its just a dream 😀
You’re speaking as if kojima actually wrote the entire ps4 to pc code. That didn’t happen. Kojima didn’t LEARN pc optimization, his team did.
totally agreed lol
This is only speculation, nothing else, he just assumed that, in the end the trailer only shows ps4 label, and that’s what sony paid them for, maybe it’ll come to PC, but at a later date, much later.
Trolling implies at least some intelligence and self awareness, both of which he’s lacking.
It is saying ” Only on PS ” in trailer ?!?!
Its a NoobStation trailer, obviously it wont say coming to PC….
i have absolutely no doubt it iwll come to pc..question is WHEN not if.
It’s been denied https://mobile.twitter.com/Tanzen/status/1134078621398839296
I couldn’t care less, gameplay looks like the average Sony cinematic garbage.
Sony make damn good story-driven games. Quality is a rare thing in gaming these days. But let me be clear they are the ones who need the pc market, it’s not the other way around.
I wouldn’t call interactive movies good games
Your talking to low IQ pauper teenager that sees value in endless MP games and trash like pukeg, fartnite, probbally minecraft too and soulless “survival”
games where you can MILK the 50$ for years.
Oh man, can’t wait to play Hackjima’s new game after MGS:V was a total and complete disaster.
That’s because Konami did not let him finish the game…
Maybe this is a two sided issue.
First being Kojima is a hack who can’t spend budget properly to save his life.
Second: Konami not wanting to waste any more money on a horrible game. They had a right to fire him and push out a game to make back the money he wasted. Continually wasting money with absolutely no real forward momentum in the project and no amount of allowing him to finish the game would have made it a worthwhile addition to the series would get anybody fired.
He’s been garbage since every single game post 3. A completely overrated wannabe film director with a fan base that portrays him as being an absolute infallible god among game developers.
Sorry you worship the ground Kojima walks on, but stop ignoring his part in the issue with MGS:V and realize he’s an overrated ideas man who creates garbage games, with garbage plots, with garbage ideas that my twelve year old cousin could create better plot points.
Without somebody reigning in his ideas into a cohesive story, he’s a hack through and through. You know, like MGS 1-3. All games that had a man behind him making the game not a complete and total mess.
MGS:V is the product of a man who can’t write himself out of a paperbag. So was IV, Portable OPS, etc.
Spend a budget properly? Him and his team made a freaking engine that scaled on Xbox 360 hardware all the way to current hardware… And it’s not his fault he wanted to make a game that people would enjoy 😀
And nothing about him is over rated. And Death Stranding will prove that 😀
Don’t care. His engine was and still is overrated at best and looked horrible in the open world aspect. Looked two-three years out of date at the time of release compared to other engines that existed at the time.
Death Stranding will prove that all his fanboys continually suck him off no matter how trash the game actually is, and no matter how awful the plot/writing/everything about it are.
Once again, See MGS:VI-V and everything in between.
Sounds like you are not going to enjoy a good game. But hey that’s on you
I would agree with you on everything except for me MGS4 was the best, pinnacle of MGS, everything after was trash and that includes all PSP games including the last one that “people” loved.
P.S. MGSV was trash BUT I have a feeling that it was KONAMI that forced him to create a open world trash instead of linear, because OW was all the rage back then so he did what was possible with OW and you cant tell a story in such game.
It has nothing to do with Konami, it was Open World soulless trash, proper story driven game has to be LINEAR, thats why MGS games where great, everything was controlled, you had amazing boss battles, story parts and bombastic moments it was a roller coaster.
Open world by the numbers trash cant do that the only thing open world is good for is to make grindy repetitive games where the dev saves money on everything and especially by making a single map instead of tens different and unique maps
With the money poured in and the deal Kojima’s likely made, it’d be no wonder for it to be made multiplat.
That being said, the game itself is already limited by PS4 base level hw. it wasn’t designed with PC strictly in mind, let alone the Pro refresh system. With it also being very close to the end of current gen, it feels like the game should have been delayed for next gen hw, thus giving a PC port a better chance at running/looking that bit better, than being restrained by already vastly weak PS4 base system hw.
“limited by PS4 base level hw”
That’s the most disappointing aspect so far for me. They could have made it a truly ‘next-gen’ title for PS5 but instead opted to design the game around the chronic limitations of the woefully inadequate current-gen base PS4 with its abysmal mobile-oriented CPU.
I am and always will be a PC first kinda gamer/content consumer, and as
tech enthusiast I definitely agree hw specs could have been higher, dev
studios could have asked for more and the average consumer could have
demanded more and not settle for less.
Hardware limitations aside…I think Sony did a pretty decent job with this console gen. They’re closing in on the 100 million units sold mark…they have the best selling exclusives and first party IPs within the home-based consoles hemisphere.
It’s hard to admit even for me, but I’m pretty convinced that at this point if it wasn’t for Sony, this console generation would have been one of the most s$^thiest and depressing generation of consoles of which I can remember from my almost 3 decades of playing vidya.
I’d like to say that would have only benefited PC gaming…but things are more complicated than that and I’m not that naive anymore.
Still no Gears 2 or 3 on PC so not interested.
This game intrigues me 10x more than any other upcoming game! That trailer….goddam its deep! So many hidden messages in there!
I’ll buy both if it’s good. I love supporting studios with no GaaS scheming.
want little money? release on console exclusive.. want much more money? release on PC.. simple
Look, I’d love it to be true but Sony are likely funding this and it runs on a Sony engine.
Let’s just face the reality that it’s exclusive to PS4, definitely.
It sucks but there is nothing we can do.
