Death Stranding: Directors Cut becomes PS5 exclusive

Death Stranding

Opinions may differ on the quality of Death Stranding, but the unusual title, in which the protagonist Sam Porter Bridges travels through a devastated America to rebuild civilization, sold on both the Playstation 4 and later on the PC good.

So it was not entirely surprising that a Director's Cut of the game was recently announced at the Summer Game Fest presented by Geoff Keighley. After all, Hideo Kojima later released extended versions of some Metal Gear Solid parts.

Death Stranding: Microsoft is rumored to buy the studio

There is one rumor that Microsoft will buy Kojima Productions, which will be announced soon. var lstExcludedArticleTicker = '1374377,1369957,1365823,1363091'; However, the announcement trailer for Death Stranding (buy now € 14.50 / € 53.99): Director's Cut has not yet stated exactly for which platforms the title will be released. The gameplay material in the video comes from the PS5 and the Playstation 5 logo appeared at the end, but that is also often found in multiplatform games. So many gamers hoped that the post-apocalyptic postman simulator would come out again for PS4 and PC, as well as new for the PS5.

Will Death Stranding be released for Xbox?

In the official entry for the game on the website of the American Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), which makes age recommendations for video games, Sony's Playstation 5 is now the only platform listed. It can therefore be assumed that the Director's Cut of Death Stranding will only be available for the PS5 at least for a certain period of time.

What's new in the Director's Cut of Death Stranding?

Since stealth takedowns are explicitly mentioned in the game description of the ESRB entry and there was a box allusion to Metal Gear Solid in the trailer, fans of the game are now speculating whether the Director's Cut of Death Stranding is an improved one Creep mechanics will offer. One should wait here, however, because there were already stealth maneuvers in the main game and the ESRB's text gives a general overview of the game mechanics that are associated with violence. You can see a picture of the entry in the embedded tweet from the colleagues from Gematsu.

Death Stranding Director's Cut has been rated as a PS5 exclusive

Death Stranding Director's Cut will only be available on PS5.


As first spotted earlier today by Gematsu on Twitter, the ESRB rating for the upcoming Death Stranding Director's Cut has been revealed. Notably, the ESRB rating itself was only filed for a PS5 version of the game, which heavily suggests that the new revised edition of Death Stranding from Kojima Productions will only be available on PlayStation's next-gen console.


This probably shouldn't come as a massive surprise though, given what we've already seen of the new version of Death Stranding. When game director Hideo Kojima unveiled the trailer for the new version earlier this month, the only platform mentioned during the trailer itself was the PlayStation 5, obviously setting up the new version to only be available on the next-gen machine.


Other than the platform details, there's not a whole lot to glean from the new ESRB rating for Death Stranding Director's Cut. Blood, intense violence, partial nudity, and strong language are all mentioned on the filing itself, which culminates in the 'Mature' rating being applied to the re-release, which is the exact same certification that the original game had in 2019.


If you missed the original announcement, Death Stranding Director's Cut was unveiled at the Summer Game Fest hosted by Geoff Keighley earlier this month. In an extended interview, the host and director Kojima talked up the latter's creative process over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic so far, before turning their attention to the new version of Death Stranding to end the segment.


It was a bit of a strange reveal trailer, truth be told. We saw protagonist Sam Porter Bridges sneaking around an enemy base, evading some pretty heavily armed foes, before plucking a cardboard box from a shelf and hopping into it. He didn't stay there long before jumping back out of the box itself, which just about wrapped up the reveal trailer for Death Stranding Director's Cut. After that reveal trailer, we're sort of left with more questions than answers.
