Death Stranding: it’s official, the game is coming to Game Pass

From the blue cross to the green one: Death Stranding arrives on PC via Game Pass, and the wait will not even be among the most prohibitive

We laughed a lot at the absurdity of the scenario, but now the hilarity gives way to the most sincere joy: yes, the magnum opus by Hideo Kojima is coming to Game Passnow that Microsoft has formalized the platform provided for a precious package such as Death Stranding. The “Amazon courier simulator” will be on Sony’s rival subscription service as early as next week. We talk, for the record, of Tuesday 23 August. Clearly, we specify that this is the PC version of the aforementioned service, which technically does not count as a competitor of the blue titan. However, this is an “if you had told me this two years ago” scenario.

Death Stranding X Game Pass: the cross stands for an unmentionable console

Game Pass subscribers will receive the original version of Death Stranding, rather than the more recent Director’s Cut edition. Published by 505 Gamesthis re-release dates back to July 2020, roughly eight months after its original incarnation of PS4 exclusive. The publisher doesn’t own the rights to the console versions, so no – we won’t be seeing the game on Xbox anytime soon. The announcement on Twitter has made official what the account has already hinted a short time ago. We leave you to the interested post, which we are sure will enter (in its small way) in videogame history.

The “special delivery” has already been the subject of several allusions in recent days. After all, the profile photo of the account included the scenarios of the game, giving fans the opportunity to await with trepidation the official confirmation arrived today. Certainly, it is one less news to wait for the now imminent Gamescom. For now, as for Kojima, we only “know” that he is working on several projects. One of them is, after several assumptions about it, a new title for Xbox via the cloud, in collaboration with Microsoft. As for the game world we are talking about today, Norman Reedus’ long tongue has hinted that a sequel both in the pipeline.
