Over the past few months, we’ve seen numerous hints towards a PC version of Death Stranding. This new game from the mastermind behind the Metal Gear series, Hideo Kojima, was listed as a PS4 exclusive on Sony’s website. However, it appears that the game is no longer listed as one.
As we can clearly see on Sony’s website, Death Stranding is nowhere to be found in the “PS4 exclusives” section. In case you are wondering, the game was listed as one a few months ago.
What this ultimately means is that Sony has most likely removed the game from that list. That or a bug/glitch is the culprit of Death Stranding’s removal.
Both Sony and Kojima Productions have not announced anything official yet. We do know that Hideo Kojima wants to bring the game to the PC platform. Therefore, and after the game’s removal, a timed-exclusive deal with Sony seems more likely at this point.
Hideo Kojima will showcase Death Stranding at Gamescom 2019. However, I’d suggest tempering your expectations. While it would be awesome to get an official reveal of a PC version, it won’t likely happen during this gaming event.
My guess is that Kojima Productions will reveal a PC version of Death Stranding after the game’s release on Playstation 4.
But anyway, we’ll be sure to keep you posted so stay tuned for more. As a bonus, I’ve included below the game’s latest gameplay trailer!

More and more developers are wising up to the influence of the PC platform. The less exclusive games on the market, the better.
As for the game, awesome. I still have absolutely no clue what it’s about but I trust in Hideo to make a good game.
You really shouldn’t. Death Stranding is elusive at best, no reason to be excited save for the name I guess.
Well from the minimal footage I’ve seen it looks pretty damn interesting. That on top of HK making it hypes me up a little.

Team Fortress 3 confirmed
Enough said am I right 🙂 LOL
yes, trailers made me so emotional and excited, looks very promising. i can’t wait for this masterpiece to come out so that i can pirate it.
The fact that I have no clue of what the fvck is happening there, makes me even more hyped. I’m used to play all sorts of games, and I really love when something with this mindfvckery comes out. Would prefer to play on the PC though.
Cause it’s free ;D
I never liked the idea of exclusives.
more gamers should be able to enjoy the same things.
makes for better conversation and appreciation on a larger scale.
also increases total sales.
This. imagine god of war on PC..
I 100% agree with you. Man I am mega hyped for Death Stranding and I love Hideo’s work the Dude is awesome and an legit artist who loves his craft. Respect across the board.
If they announce the PC version I will switch and get that version in a heart beat, I want to believe. Death Stranding would look insane on Ultra, juiced up and on my multi screen config!
They are still taking up temporary exclusivity deals tho’, and PC is always in last place because of the lack of patronage. And let’s not forget console first party developers still exist,
I said that things are getting better. Not that they are perfect.
I’d say things are about the same in this generation, except for the lack of patronage, but only Epic does that lmao.
This is a real question. How can you trust him to make a good game after MGSV? He hasn’t made anything good since MGS3, and that arguably was only a good game because other people were able to wrangle in his nonsense and turn it into a great product.
I like his games on multiple levels, but Kojima is an ideas man. He has great ideas but he ultimately needs a wrangler to cut out the nonsense to turn his ideas into magic.
Which is what happened everything pre MGS4. MGS3, is the perfect example of that and MGS2 is another great example. If both of those games just had him helming everything we’d get another MGS5.
While MGS5 was pushed out the gate early due to his inability to manage a budget, what we did recieve was barely good. It has fantastic gameplay, which I give him all the credit in the world for. Everyrbinf else? Terrible.
Plot holes all over, extremely bad writing(except the one legitimately good scene hes wrote in ages where you go back to the infected medical unit and kill your troops, and the ashes rubbing scene), and absolutely terribly done open world gameplay.
Death stranding could be good, but it also could just be the most overrated game hes made, because I’m a firm believer in that no matter what he produces, and no matter how terrible Death Stranding turns out to be, people will sit there and tell me it’s a great product.
People need to stop doing this with him. He needs to just stop making games and go and produce CGI movies already, because that’s what hea focuses on. His games have been highly cinematic since MGS4, but as games? I wouldn’t rank one in the top 20 games of all time.
Very strange…..I thought Sony would not do so before the game actually releases…..
In any case it will be at least one year exclusive.
Darn… I have to cancel my ps5 pre order.
I’m curious about how that will work out. The game is made using guerrilla game’s engine which I’m assuming is built for Sony’s machine
Until Dawn is using Guerilla games engine,and they show the on one of the event a PC version of it,although its just a technical demo. So its not impossible…also,don’t forget that PS4 using x86 architecture
Better not be a bag of Nitebucks from Timmy Tencent
Epic only seem to guarantee a specific amount of sales (and then cover the difference if the game doesn’t sell that much). A Kojima game hardly needs that sort of guarantee. He could put his name on a bag of dirt and we would still buy it and dig around for references.
Well Borderlands 3 didn’t need the help, and has far more hype than Death Stranding. Yet 2KGames shook hands with the devil and took Timmy’s sack of Nitebucks.
Eh, if it is, TPB has us covered.
if all games would be a “timed exclusive” in console, like 1,2 or even 3 years of exclusivity then eventually a pc port that’d be so very nice.(Now i know thats not how reality works but at least let me dream)..what do u people think?
Good
Interesting.
My best guess is it will be released along with PS5 version.
That makes sense.
No it doesn’t, PS5 is a November 2020 release.
Sony may be having 1 year exclusive deal for PS4 before releasing it for PC. Similar to other exclusives which came to PC like Final Fantasy, Detroit: Become Human etc. So, 2020 makes sense along with PS5.
This game just looks like a walking simulator but im interested to see what it turns out to be
forgot this existed.
Why do you keep parroting this. PS5 is not “around the corner”, it’ll come out 12 months after the release of DS on PS4. Regardless if they have a PS5 re-release, this would never result in them de-listing the game from their PS4 portfolio.
PS4 games are going to run natively on PS5, possibly with some enhancements like resolution.
A mindfvck game? Count me in!
And with all the hype surrounding this game, if it was an exclusive that info would be trown to every corner. We know it’s not exclusive, all we need is a PC release date.
I feel sorry for anybody who still buys into Hackjima’s bullshit. After everything post MGS3, the guy hasn’t made a single cohesively interesting and good game. Do they have elements of decent gamehood? Sure. Fully good? H*ll f*cking no!
Bring back Fukushima so Kojima’s nonsense can be spun into something actually good.
“Bring back Fukushima”
Isn’t that guy dead? Well let’s see what those hollywood directors influence is gonna be at least.
I think the going rumor is that he was possibly killed by Yakuza from what I’ve read, but I’ve never found an obituary or anything from him.
I think he and Kojima had a major falling out post MGS3, and he disappeared from the game scene or got completely burnt out after having to wrangle in Kojimas ideas for borderline 3 games he turned into magic for Kojima.
Why would you like another disaster like that?!
Are you insane?
Damn right it was dude. I don’t know why more people don’t know that he was the reason those games were so good. Kojima has great ideas, but Fukushima was able to reign those in and turn them into 10/10 game scripts that borderline on classic hollywood movie scripts tier writing.
It sucks that he disappeared, died, or what ever happened to the poor guy. I’d imagine he got sick of being overshadowed by Kojima and they had a major falling out.
For real though, a PC release is good news for everyone!!
Not confirmed, far from it.
Keep dreaming, beggars. Maybe make a petition like you did with Bloodborne.

Id actually buy this particular Kojima game on PC.
If I wouldn’t ran out I would give a f*k.
Cool that it may be released from Sony’s clutches, but I’ve never cared less for a Kojima game, than this.
Agreed. Kojima peaked over two decades ago.
No thanks, keep your walking sim Kojima
No, Kojima isn’t that short sighted or financially suicidal. A one time payout from Tim to kill the game won’t compare with sustained sales on the legitimate stores.
Epic exclusives of Valve exclusives ?? From Kojima visit to valve (I think they also have been visiting epic when they not yet launch the store ) if it Valve exclusive, then all of those that said exclusivity is bad for consumer because they didnt gave us a choice reaction will be interesting.
It will probably be an Epic exclusive.
epic store exclusive i hope just so the autistic store page war kids scream
“Either it was removed intentionally, or accidentally”.
great work guys. Anyone know how to get Google to remove garbage from your suggested articles?
Day one purchase on PC. Don’t care what launcher its on, will just add the game to GOG Galaxy 2.0.
you will still need the game’s respective launcher to launch the game. GOG2 works as an overlay where you add your various game shortcuts, it doesnt add external games in your GOG collection.
