Death Strandingwas originally released on August 12, 2025 with a PC version of the game also making its way to both the Epic Game Store as well as Steam in July 2020. Since its release, the title has sold over 5 million copies across PlayStation and PC.Death Stranding Director’s Cutwas announced in July of 2020 and released on September 24 of the same year exclusively on the PlayStation 5. While the name of the re-release version of the game insinuates that the game is adding in content that was cut from the original release, theDirector’s Cuttitle isn’t exactly correct, something that Kojima himself haspointed out. TheMetal Gearcreator has made it clear that the original release had all the content that he wanted to include and this re-release is added content rather than putting stuff back in. This new content includes new songs, changes to the UI, new delivery supports, equipment, vehicles, and weapons, new virtual missions, new areas and missions, along with “expanded storylines.”
Death Stranding Director’s Cutwill be released on both Epic Game Store and Steam sometime in Spring 2022. You can see a trailer forDirector’s Cutthat was edited by Kojima himself down below.
