Death Stranding 2's release date announced, no word on an Xbox version

Would have been so good if today it was announced for Xbox as well, but nope, shocked? Nope.

I guess it’s entirely possible that there isn’t any exclusivity arrangement for Sony for this, but for…any kind of other reason it’s only announced for PS5 now.

Haven’t played the game just yet, so no idea how big of a “loss” it would be for me personally if this doesn’t come to Xbox anytime soon, if ever. You’d think at some point it would. Or perhaps Kojima only holds the rights to DS1? No idea how that works.

Sony has fully funded the game’s development, I wouldn’t expect it on Xbox for a while. I do think it will be timed exclusivity, but it might be decently long, again.

The game was far into development for PS5 by the time Kojima got the rights to IP. It will come to other platforms; it’s just a matter of when.

Maybe by the time it comes to Xbox I will have played the first one.

Honestly disappointed that it’s not called Death S2randing.

This is the only PS exclusive I really care to play. I hope it eventually makes it’s way to X Haus.

It is at launch, so until otherwise I don’t blame anyone as we don’t know if/when exactly it’ll be on PC, let alone Xbox.

How nice it would have been if Sony had allowed it for Xbox on day one, kinda as a “thanks” that they are getting CoD and so much more. But I know, it’s not how shit works.

It’s not a PS exclusive anymore. Kojima Productions bought the rights back and release DS Director’s Cut on Xbox last year.

Yes I have it - and love the game - but there is probably zero chance we get this (DS2) over the summer so for now - it is an exclusive.

I expect a Xbox version in 2030

Whatever floats your boat. I guess you’re right in that sense.

If Kojima owns the rights to the IP he can probably port the game to other platforms whenever he wants but I assume that Sony made sure to make this one exclusive to PS5 for at least a year or more so I wouldn’t even hope about this making it to Xbox until some time next gen, next year at best.

We’ll see how PC port will go. If it’s published under Sony, it might take longer, if not, may be same day as PC release.
