Death Stranding 2 on Xbox Consoles Is Now Possible

As a seasoned gamer who’s been around since the days of the original PlayStation, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and excitement at the prospect of Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2 gracing the screens of Xbox consoles. I remember the days when Metal Gear Solid was the talk of the town, and Kojima was the name on everyone’s lips. His departure from Konami to partner with Sony seemed like a bitter pill to swallow for many of us, but it’s clear now that it was just a detour in his grand journey.


It seems there’s a potential for the sequel to “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach” to appear on Xbox in the future. Hideo Kojima is an influential figure in the gaming world, often recognized by name among enthusiasts and arguably the only true auteur in video game development. His games are widely associated with his unique vision, although they are the result of the collective efforts of numerous team members. It might be a bit unfair to those who contribute significantly, but Kojima’s games, from Metal Gear Solid to Death Stranding, have a consistent direction that fans appreciate. When he parted ways with Konami and joined Sony, some fans were disappointed, fearing it could mean fewer Kojima games on Xbox. However, the future may hold surprises!

As a gaming enthusiast, I was taken aback when it turned out that my initial assumption was way off base. Contrary to what many believed, Hideo Kojima isn’t just working on an Xbox exclusive called OD; he also dropped a bombshell today by making Death Stranding available on the Xbox Series X|S without any prior announcement. This unexpected move sent fans rushing to the Xbox Store to grab the highly praised game.

It seems that the ability for all this to unfold stemmed from Kojima Productions acquiring the intellectual property (IP) from PlayStation. This gives them authority over where the franchise will be distributed. In a press statement, Kojima expressed his intention to broaden the player base by potentially releasing the game on platforms like Xbox, aiming to connect more gamers worldwide.

Kojima has happily shared that Death Stranding Director’s Cut is coming to Xbox players at last. He expresses gratitude towards our dedicated fans who have remained loyal, as well as the Xbox community for their patience. Kojima Productions will continue bridging more and more gamers globally, so keep an eye out for updates.

As a dedicated fan, I’d express it like this: If Kojima decides to bring Death Stranding 2 to Nintendo Switch, he absolutely could. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll see it on Xbox soon. Since PlayStation is involved in the production of Death Stranding 2, it seems likely there’s an exclusivity deal in place, meaning it will likely be exclusive to the PS5 initially for some time. It’s possible it might release on Xbox at the same time as PS5, but given how long we waited for the PC version and the Director’s Cut, I find it hard to imagine PlayStation would let that happen so quickly.

It’s quite probable that we might witness a delayed launch for “Death Stranding 2” on Xbox, given that 505 Games handled the PC and Xbox versions of the original game instead of Sony PlayStation. Whether or not 505 Games will again publish the sequel on other platforms is uncertain, and if they do, it could potentially impact PlayStation’s earnings since they no longer own the franchise. If Hideo Kojima decides to create “Death Stranding 3”, there’s a chance he might release the game simultaneously on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, but only if he doesn’t reach another agreement with PlayStation for funding.

Kojima’s unique visions are leading to commercial success, potentially allowing him to create a sequel without relying too heavily on an established partner due to their longstanding relationship. The upcoming film adaptation of “Death Stranding” by A24 will further boost the series’ popularity in mainstream culture.

Hideo Kojima’s bond with PlayStation isn’t breaking up either. Currently, he is working on a novel game titled Physint, which is an experimental espionage title. Interestingly, this project is being developed in collaboration with Columbia Pictures, a film production/distribution company owned by Sony. Given the size and ambition of this joint venture between PlayStation and Sony, it appears that Kojima remains in great standing with them.
