Developer Kojima Productions announced that that the game had surprise launched for Xbox Series X/S, courtesy of publisher 505 Games (which also published the game on PC).
Kojima Productions has announced that it now has full control and ownership of the Death Stranding IP.
Death Stranding released five years back as a PS4 exclusive under the Sony first-party umbrella, but though that’s how the IP started life, it continues to break exclusivity ties with PlayStation.
Interestingly enough, it’s been almost exactly five years to the day since Death Stranding came out, suggesting that there may have been a timed exclusivity agreement in place.
