The specific release date of Death Stranding on the PC has been officially set since yesterday. A little later it becomes clear: This implementation of the Kojima hit will use copy protection that is unpopular with gamers.

From June 2nd 2020 you will be able to get Death Stranding for the PC. The version optimized for the platform will then even be available via Epic Games Store and Steam. The two shops have updated their corresponding product entries and now also provide information about copy protection.
Accordingly, Death Stranding on PC will use the DRM Denuvo, which is unpopular with gamers. The anti-tamper solution from the Austrian provider has been criticized in the past because it should sometimes lead to performance problems.
However, in the past, most of the major games were shipped with a Denuvo version to make life difficult for pirates. The Denuvo-DRM, which has long been considered difficult to crack copy protection, has long been cracked again and again.
In this case too, there is a high chance that 505 Games and Kojima Productions will rely on Denuvo at least in the beginning and hope to officially sell as many copies of the PC version as possible until there is a crack and piracy online takes its course. The Denuvo-DRM is then often removed from the officially purchased game version at a later point in time.
