The information began to circulate discreetly, before making a big splash: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach could well arrive on PC, according to a classification spotted on the ESRB site. News that immediately triggered a wave of enthusiasm among fans of the famous game by Hideo Kojima.
Released last June, Death Stranding 2 continues the dystopian universe initiated by the first opus, still with Sam Bridges as the main protagonist. This time, the player crosses Mexico and Australia in a post-apocalyptic world, in enriched, more action-oriented gameplay. The game has already established itself in the biggest events of the year, appearing among the six finalists at the Game Awards 2025, and took fifth place at the Golden Joystick Awards.
An expected sequel… and a suspended exclusivity?
Originally, Death Stranding 2 is a PlayStation exclusive. But Sony’s current strategy has already allowed older titles like Horizon Forbidden West Or God of War to reach PC players with a few months lag. This trend seems to be confirmed once again.
Indeed, a leak spotted on the ESRB website – the American video game classification body – indicates a potential PC version of the title. Although Kojima Productions has not yet made this announcement official, the mention of a multiplatform classification has had its effect. On Reddit, a user recalled a significant precedent: “The first game was released on PC eight months after its release on PS4.”
A community alert and full of hope
Very quickly, reactions multiplied, particularly on the subreddit GamingLeaksAndRumoursaccustomed to preview scoops. Many fans have expressed their impatience and belief that this PC release is imminent. “Probably an ad for the Game Awards.” “I knew they would announce it at the Game Awards!” Others have already anticipated their PC gaming experience, like this enthusiastic comment: “I can’t wait to play it on PC.” This prospect also pleases those who are waiting for a wider opening: “I’m really excited that more people will be able to play it”
A wait without official confirmation for the moment
Despite the excitement, no announcement has yet been made from the developers’ side. The Japanese studio remains silent, as it often does ahead of big revelations during major industry events. Many are now banking on the Game Awards for officialization. In the meantime, players are raving: “So excited to play hard. The graphics looked amazing on PS5 Pro.” The mystery therefore remains, but there is hope for all those waiting to find Sam Bridges on their PC setup. To be followed very closely.
