Death Stranding Director’s Cut – the tarted up version of Hideo Kojima’s acclaimed damp hillside traipsing adventure – will be making its way to Steam and the Epic Games Store on 30th March, with a $10 upgrade offer for owners of the original.
Death Stranding Director’s Cut initially launched for PS5 last summer, introducing new story elements, a photo mode, expanded combat, new gadgets – including a laser gun and mounted machine guns – plus a variety of other tweaks to the original. Oh, and it threw in a fully featured racing mode too, because why not? The new PC version, incidentally, also features Xe Super Sampling and ultra-wide monitor support.
The end result of the spruce-up was a pleasing expansion of Kojima’s 2019 original – which Eurogamer called a “baffling, haunting, grand folly” in its review – and Digital Foundry even dubbed the Directors Cut a “beautifully-tailored PS5 experience” that was worth the money.
The Director’s Cut proved a particularly good deal for players that had already purchased the original, with 505 Games offering an extremely reasonable upgrade option, costing just $10/€10/£5. And the publisher has now detailed a similar upgrade offer for PC, once again costing $10/€10. UK pricing (or indeed non-discounted pricing) is yet to be confirmed.
