Hideo Kojima's debut title since splitting from Konami, the post-apocalyptic delivery simulator Death Stranding, was announced for PCs back in October. This version, which will be published by 505 Games, just got its release date confirmed via a tweet from the game's director:

The release date of DEATH STRANDING PC version as well as the collab with Half-Life have just been announced. It’s June 2nd, 2020 and pre-order available now. Twitter only allows this video to play on 30 fps. #DeathStranding    https://t.co/TxRuNL91u2 pic.twitter.com/kFCf62FLPn

PC gamers will be able to play the game on June 2nd, along with PC-exclusive features such as a photo mode, support for high frame rate and ultrawide monitors. The announcement also came with a little surprise in the form of Half-Life crossover content.

I hate when games lose exlusivity like that.

it's capitasm, my friend.

p.s. That means more players will able to enjoy it, and for company will get more profit=games to invest on, SO WHY NOT?

 

[GenNaz]

You know that most of older games don't run on win 10 right? For me it would be easier to find and connect old console than to have to deal with virtual machine.



Not gonna happen.
But honestly i think that one of reasons for drop in quality of today's games is less exlusive games and this weird mania for pc ports i mean playing on pc is super uncomfortable and expensive plus i like when games just work but i guess it depends on what you like.

Never thought I'd see a Polish user be so ignorant when it comes to PC gaming.

 

[Lazyboss]

Well, time to play this masterpiece again on PC, 220 hours on PS4 wasn't enough.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Gave it a few hours after spending the $$$ but in the end ...... it was poop

Let's say you truly brought the game and tried it for few hours, but why you brought it in the first place if you have no idea what it is about? You where expecting MGS game or something?

are your games are belong to PC

Yeah, that's one of reasons i hate my country.

I never hate a game loosing exclusivity, the more the merrier, I hate it more when a game that could easily be released on all consoles is arbitrarily kept as a console exclusive because of some pay-off from MS/Sony/Nintendo, although Nintendo don't tend to pay for exclusivity like the other 2, its fair enough if the game is developed or published by the manufacturer of the console, or if the developer is a small time indie dev and publishing across all platforms might be a bit costly, but I would much prefer all games be published everywhere instead of being used to force people to buy one console or another or having to have all consoles to be able to play all the games your interested in, I even don't mind if its 1 console exclusive + PC, I love the fact on PC I can still play that game I bought 13 years ago if I get the urge to without having to dig out an old console and all the cables for it or hope someone has bothered to make an emulator that runs decent enough to actually play the game

I think exclusivity is justified in case of Death Stranding, at least from developer's standpoint - it's a highly ambitious walking simulator (as in, literally a simulation of traversing terrains) from a fresh studio with a lot yet to prove, and they needed all the money they could get to see it through completion, so accepting an exclusivity deal was a necessary evil.

I really wish this game had turned out to be anything other than a lame walking sim. Oh well, saves me money I suppose.

I have no issue with games trying something new, but somebody should've told Kojima that this idea was neither new nor engaging for the player. It could almost be forgiven if the story pacing was better, but even then it would still just be Dear Esther stretched out to 30 hours, with a protagonist who is eternally both drunk and clumsy.

I don't kno how much you pld of it but I'm guessing not much- it was different to anything else as I've never tried carrying 20 boxes on my back and trying to climb a big arse mountain plus it was a game wher trophies come into play - now some may not care for tht and if thts the case then yr losing out on what some games hav to offer

 

[Xzi]

I don't kno how much you pld of it but I'm guessing not much

I haven't played it at all, I only had to watch some gameplay footage on Youtube to realize it'd be a hard pass for me.

lol seriously beggars belief how anyone can criticize a game they not tried themselves

Between reviews, streams, and gameplay videos it's really easy to get a fairly complete overview of what a game is all about before purchasing. You don't need more than a couple years of gaming under your belt to know a turd when you see one, and I've been playing games for over twenty years now.

I think everyone when they watch a few clips here and ther prob adds up to about few mins - I don't kno anyone who watches someone else playing a game for mor than a few mins how boring is tht - you can only say what an actual game is like if you actually pld it and I wouldn't listen to anyone who said otherwise

 

[WarioWaffles]

Honestly it looks like crap but God willing I'll finally be able to try it for myself.

 

[DarthDub]

I'm looking forward to this.

 

[Viri]

Now you can play your UPS/Walking Simulator in 4K/60FPS!

Don't you mean this?

How much is Sony paying you to white knight them over exclusivity BS? They owe you nothing, so why defend console exclusivity?

More systems a game is on = more sales
