News: The definitive version of Death Stranding is now available on PC with the ability to transfer previous game saves.

Kojima Productions and videogame publisher 505 Games have announced the release of Death Stranding Director's Cut for PC, Hideo Kojima’s definitive vision of his critically-acclaimed and genre-defying epic. Available today via Steam and the Epic Games Store for PC, Death Stranding Director's Cut expands upon the award-winning adventure with an array of new features, including an extended storyline, new stealth missions, combat abilities, inventory, buildable structures, cosmetic options, and more.

Most notably, Death Stranding Director's Cut now includes the ‘Ruined Factory’ location, a treacherous underground compound packed with fresh dangers, plus Sam now has a wealth of new delivery assists, from cargo catapults and ramps to a stabilizer function. Melee combat has been amped up with enhanced moves such as the dropkick, whilst the new Maser Gun pacifies enemies with electricity. Finding the perfect weapon loadout is now achievable thanks to the new firing range location, while vehicles can be raced on the new racetrack minigame. Protagonist Sam Bridges can even ride Buddy Bots to traverse the wastelands with greater ease.

Coming soon, Death Stranding Director's Cut will also support Intel’s new Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) graphics technology for an unparalleled experience on PC. XeSS uses machine learning for elevated game performance and enables players to explore the unique environment of Death Stranding Director's Cut in staggering graphical detail.

Existing owners of Death Stranding can upgrade to the Death Stranding Director's Cut for the price of $9.99 by installing the current game and purchasing through the in-game storefront. They will also be able to seamlessly transfer across any previous game saves. Those discovering the Death Stranding Director's Cut for the first time can buy Kojima’s ultimate version for $39.99.
