Death Stranding Reaches 20 Million Players as Sequel Nears Release

Kojima Productions celebrates a major milestone for the 2019 title while anticipation builds for Death Stranding 2, set to launch on June 26, 2025.

Death Stranding has surpassed 20 million players across all platforms, including PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, as confirmed by Kojima Productions.
The milestone includes players accessing the game via subscription services, not solely through direct purchases.
A significant spike in player activity on platforms like Steam is attributed to renewed interest ahead of the sequel's release.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, a PlayStation 5 exclusive, is confirmed to launch on June 26, 2025, with production milestones like recording and sound mixing completed.
The original game's innovative asynchronous multiplayer mechanics, allowing indirect player collaboration, remain a defining feature of its appeal.
