Kojima just confirmed that Death Stranding will be coming to PC in early summer 2020.

Is Kojima self publishing or is Sony publishing it on PC.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Early summer 2020, not early 2020. Big difference. Still good news.

 

[BigBooper]

That's pretty huge. Been a while since Sony published on pc hasn't it?

 

[Shifty]

Hey, rad. I won't have to dust off my PS4 Peasant to experience the new Koji gig.

 

[daninthemix]

No doubt this will cause people's piss to boil.

Let it boil, I say.

 

[imsosleepy]

wow thats pretty amazing. Wil look amazing on pc.. God dam

 

[Larogue]

Good, now I can play it on my PC, and not to be forced to buy a console 1/4th of it's power just to play one game.

 

[molasar]

I wonder if this port runs on Decima engine or any other one?

 

[adamosmaki]

Just make it available on steam or even better GOG

 

[Vlaphor]

I was ready to wait for this game for a long time, so this isn't too bad. I already have a couple of games to play now anyway, so I'm ok with this.

Just hope I can avoid spoilers for the next 8 or so months.

 

[ManaByte]

I wonder if this port runs on Decima engine or any other one?

If it's coming that soon it's probably not rebuilt from the ground up on a new engine.

So early summer 2020. June/July 2020 I guess.

 

[molasar]

Early summer 2020, not early 2020. They could move assets and built it on Unreal Engine 4 instead of optimizing Decima for PCs. We will find out next year.
Update:
Wiki says it is Decima.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

Cool stuff but now that I got my PS4 Pro I'll be playing there. Good news for my PC only brethren!

 

[Nightrunner]

I wonder which store though

 

[Fake]

Haters can let Kojima sleep now at least. Good for everyone.

 

[Caffeine]

 

[GrayChild]

I LOVE YOU KOJI-SAMA! <3

 

[Bullet Club]

That's epic news. Very epic.

 

[Zelent]

Awesome! I'm glad I waited. Didn't want to buy a PS4 for just one game.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

And there it is. Hopefully, the game will be available on all PC storefronts and not Epic Store exclusive.

 

[Bkdk]

Great, the definitive version and hopefully this game will be as moddable as MGS5.

 

[Hinedorf]

That's the worst thing Kojima could've done for me. Now if I get it it'll be on PC and by the time it's out there I'll know if it's worth waiting for a Steam discount or not.

Had they kept this as a PS4 exclusive I'd probably have bought it within the first month because I'm a shallow game hoarding lemming.

 

[Dunki]

There was never. any doubt that it will be also released on the PC. Kojima said so sicne the introdction of this game. But it is still strange to annoucne the date so close to the PS4 release^^

 

[spons]

Thank Christ for that. And announced right before launch on PS4 as well, which is fucking hilarious tbh.

 

[Starfield]

Can't complain, first pro-consumer decision Sony has made in years in terms of locking content away from more customers

 

[Dunki]

Published by 505 games? High chance it is Epic Store exclusiv

 

[spons]

505? Between that and Sega Europe porting shit to PC, I'm thankful for the Euro-bros taking care of us.

 

[Screamer-RSA]

Props to Kojima San for the early announcement and not double dip baiting ala Rockstar.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Megaton. Something tells me the concerns surrounding the game will evaporate now

 

[KyoZz]

Uh ? Nothing new since from the annoucement they were saying it will be coming to PC. Just a matter of time.

 

[VulcanRaven]

I'm suprised that they announced this before the PS4 release. Good news to those who want to play this on PC.

 

[Bl@de]

:O

 

[Airbus Jr]

I dont understand why sony let this game go on PC with 5 in the horizon

Should ve let this stays ps4 with a posible ps5 version someday

death stranding on ps5 that would surely sells more units as people expected a graphical upgrade

Now with PC version confirmed people will be happy with PC version and dont need to buy it on nextgen

 

[DonF]

holy shit, decima engine on pc! benchmark game for sure.

I'll get it on ps4, since im pretty sure my pc will melt just looking at the box.

 

[prag16]

I wonder which store though

People that forego games they would otherwise play/buy/enjoy strictly due to which launcher app they need to use are weird.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Looks like Sony's partnership money had its limit to Oct 28, 2019.

Death Stranding was a multiplat the whole time.

It was vague before a proper confirmation like this one.

 

[Nightrunner]

I'm really interested in seeing how this game would do if it were to be announced as an EGS exclusive or a KojiProStore title

 

[888]

Even tho I am not terribly interested. I'll buy it in support of more things getting released on PC.

 

[Griffon]

Hum, then I might just cancel the PS4 preorder... I didn't fancy playing this at low framerates anyways.

 

[molasar]

This game will boot only if a player is logged on to all launcher apps at the same time. This carries on the game's narrative about reconnecting divided camps. And Hideo will break the 4th wall again.

 

[Negotiator]

Published by 505 games? High chance it is Epic Store exclusiv

Most likely. The meltdown will be unprecedented!

And of course it will no longer be a "walking simulator" anymore.

 

[Lort]

Well i guess Sonys should stop making consoles now ... no reason to own one anymore.

This just devalues the whole proposition of buying a playstation console...

or its actually a good thing.

 

[CyberPanda]

Pretends to be shocked.

You should read the Reeee thread.

I've never seen so many PS4 gamers suddenly change tune from "PS4 exclusive" to "Hey, it's great news DS is coming to PC. Now more people can play it"

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Disappointing.

 

[Birdo]

Probably Xbox too. But I expect Sony's timed exclusive deal prohibits him from saying it yet.

FFVII remake next. Everyone knows it's coming.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Depends what you value. First dibs is PS4. Or wait about 8 months and get it for PC..... better visuals, frames, but tied to a launcher.
