Death Stranding 2 PC Update Leaves Fans Worried It’s Been Canceled

by

Fans eagerly anticipating Death Stranding 2 are worried after a recent update to the game’s ESRB rating. The listing was changed to remove any mention of a Windows PC version, causing concern among players who hoped the sequel would also be released on PC, like the first game.

People noticed an update on the ESRB website and it quickly spread online, with fans on Twitter and Reddit closely examining it and guessing what it might mean for the game. Screenshots of the updated rating were shared everywhere, sparking discussions about whether the game might be cancelled. Although Kojima Productions hasn’t officially said anything about a PC version of Death Stranding 2, the earlier mention of “Windows PC” in the rating details led many to expect an announcement soon.

What the ESRB Change Actually Means, and Why Fans Are Upset

Just to clarify, the game listing being removed from Windows PC doesn’t necessarily mean a PC version of Death Stranding 2 is cancelled. Ratings boards aren’t meant to announce games, and they sometimes make errors. It’s possible the PC version was listed by mistake and then corrected. Alternatively, the publisher might have asked for the change, or the plans for which platforms the game will be on could still be undecided.

It’s easy to see why fans are upset. While the first Death Stranding game eventually became popular on PC, attracting many players after its initial release on PlayStation, the brief mention of a PC version followed by its removal feels like a tease. With unclear communication being common in the gaming industry, a lack of information often leads people to assume the worst.

Many gamers are feeling frustrated and worn out by how games are announced these days. Announcements are often incomplete, revealed slowly over time, or even cancelled with little explanation. It’s also confusing for players to not know for sure which platforms a game will be on. When official details, like age ratings, are changed without any explanation, it makes fans feel like they’re constantly having to figure things out for themselves, which shouldn’t be necessary.

Currently, it hasn’t been officially confirmed that Death Stranding 2 won’t be released on PC. The idea that it’s skipping PC is just speculation, started by a confusing rating update. However, the strong reaction from fans shows how much they care about the game and want to play it on their preferred platform. Without official news, many are understandably worried.
