Today is a big day for the team at Kojima Productions and 505 Games as we welcome Porters to the world of Death Stranding Director’s Cut on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC, as an Xbox Play Anywhere title.
5 years ago, Death Stranding landed in the hands of players for the very first time. Since then, we’ve seen how powerful bonding can be. The positive effects of connection is a theme that is deeply rooted in the human world Death Stranding and something we want to promote in everything we do with our community. With Porters now joining us from the Xbox community, we’d like to take this opportunity to highlight five ways you can get in touch Death Stranding in 2024.
Social strand system
The world of Death Stranding Director’s Cut can feel like you’re isolated on the surface, until you realize you’re not really alone thanks to the game’s social strand system.
For those who don’t know, the Social Strand System is a unique online multiplayer feature that allows wearers to connect with others in-game. You’ll never meet another Porter on your journey, but you might stumble upon something he left behind. Whether it’s a handy bridge to cross, a ladder to climb, or a simple sign warning you of danger, these items weren’t placed there by accident. You were left behind by other porters trying to help others like you.
So today when you drive up Death Stranding Director’s CutWe encourage you to think of others who are also walking this journey with you. Think about how you can help them.
Oh, and if you’ve found any Porter’s posts helpful, don’t forget to give them a little like. You will appreciate it.
