Overview
- An ESRB entry briefly listed Death Stranding 2: On the Beach for Windows PC with a Mature 17+ rating that matches the PS5 version.
- The rating cited Blood and Gore, Partial Nudity, Strong Language, and Violence, including scenes like a man cut in half by a machine and limbs severed by a robotic samurai.
- Screenshots of the page circulated after it appeared on November 25–26 before it was removed from the ESRB site, with no formal announcement issued.
- The listing named Sony Interactive Entertainment as the PC publisher, a shift from the first game’s PC release handled by 505 Games.
- Outlets view the rating as evidence of an imminent reveal, with The Game Awards on December 11 widely tipped as a possible venue, and many noting a faster PC rollout than the original’s roughly eight-month gap.
