Death Stranding Xbox Series X|S Version Launches Today

Five years after Hideo Kojima launched Death Stranding for both PS4 and PS5, the game is now playable on Xbox Series X|S – but not Xbox One. The version available on these newer systems is called the Director’s Cut, which encompasses all previous updates and additional content that was released exclusively on PlayStation platforms.

The game will offer a High Frame Rate mode, a Photo mode, compatibility with ultrawide monitors, as well as collaborative content from Valve’s Half-Life series and CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077. These features are all included in the package for players to enjoy.
