Death Stranding was released in 2019 for the PlayStation 4 before being ported to PC and PlayStation 5.

Awards, and PC Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards 2020.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is scheduled to be released in 2025 for the PlayStation 5. The upcoming title will feature characters from the first game, with Norman Reedus, Lea Seydoux, and Troy Baker reprising their roles. Elle Fanning and Shioli Kutsuna are also joining the cast, with the likenesses of Mad Max co-creator George Miller and Turkish film director Fatih Akin also set to appear.
