Death Stranding Director’s Cut Coming to PC Soon

I think we can all agree that console exclusives coming to PC can only be a good thing. Death Stranding is already available on PC, but it seems as though it will be getting the same treatment as console players. That’s right, Death Stranding’s Director’s Cut will be releasing on PC in 2022.

Specifically, thanks to an announcement at CES 2022, 505 Games announced that Death Stranding Director’s Cut will be releasing later this Spring on Steam and the Epic Games Store. This release will be simultaneous on both platforms, which can only be a good thing for people who use either storefront and want to get their hands on it.

Here is what the press release had to say about the announcement: “DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT is the definitive DEATH STRANDING experience, expanded for PC, and will, for the first time, incorporate Intel’s new Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) graphics technology for an enhanced experience for PC players. XeSS uses machine learning to enable players to explore the unique environment of DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT in high graphical detail along with elevated performance.

DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT on PC includes HIGH FRAME RATE, PHOTO MODE and ULTRA-WIDE MONITOR SUPPORT. DIRECTOR’S CUT also includes cross-over content from Valve Corporation’s HALF-LIFE series and CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077.

Developed by Kojima Productions, DEATH STRANDING was one of the most anticipated projects of the last decade. Starring Norman Reedus as Sam Bridges, the game takes place in the near future, where mysterious explosions have rocked the planet, setting off a series of supernatural events known as the Death Stranding.

With spectral creatures plaguing the landscape, and the planet on the verge of a mass extinction, it’s up to Sam to journey across the ravaged wasteland to save mankind from impending annihilation. The groundbreaking experience from legendary game creator Hideo Kojima also features the acting and voice talents of Mads Mikkelsen and Léa Seydoux. “

The President of 505 Games, Neil Ralley, also commented on the upcoming release, stating: “We’re delighted to announce our partnership with Intel for DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT on PC. DEATH STRANDING has been a hugely popular game with PC players and we’re excited to see how Intel’s new XeSS technology will enhance player experiences for DIRECTOR’S CUT.”

With that in mind, fans of Hideo Kojima’s latest work should have plenty to look forward to later this Spring. With all those graphical upgrades, it will also likely appeal to those who want to get the most out of their gaming experience visually.
