Incredible Player Count for Death Stranding

Death Stranding has crossed 20 million players across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and various other platforms.

Death Stranding Crossed 20 Million Players

Almost six years ago, game director Hideo Kojima’s newest game made it’s launch after a long drama between Kojima and Konami. While not every critic shared a favorable view of the open world game, the surrounding consensus was positive overall and has apparently improved in the years since. Over time, Kojima Productions has overseen the roll out of the game’s Director’s Cut and has also brought the game to additional platforms. Now the post-apocalyptic title has passed a major milestone.

In a Twitter post, Death Stranding Director Hideo Kojima announced that the game now has a player-base of more than 20 million players. This number covers all those users who have played the game across various supported systems, namely PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Apple devices, along with those who played it via subscription services. It’s worth noting that the total player count here could be very different from its sales counterpart, keeping in mind that Death Stranding was given away for free on the Epic Games Store on multiple occasions and is also currently available as part of PS Plus Extra.

Based on the multi platform strategy’s role in the Kojima owned IP’s rising popularity, it may be fair to expect that the Japanese studio will do something similar with Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, porting it to more platforms after a period of PlayStation exclusivity. However, if such a plan is indeed put into action, when exactly the forthcoming sequel may be announced for other systems is anyone’s guess right now.
