Death Stranding 2: On the Beach FAQs

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will be released on 26 June 2025.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is an open-world action-adventure game, played from a third-person perspective, where the player must deliver cargo, overcome enemies both human and otherworldly, explore a post-apocalyptic world by foot and vehicle, and piece together a complex and compelling sci-fi story.

There is no requirement to have played Death Stranding prior to starting Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. However, familiarity with the first game – in its original guise or Director’s Cut release – will help players relate to the gameplay, story and characters of the sequel.

Death Stranding Director’s Cut for PlayStation 5 and Death Stranding for PlayStation 4 are available in Game Catalogue as part of the PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium membership plans. Alternatively, the game is available to purchase digitally and on disc. 

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach supports asynchronous multiplayer in the same way as the original game. Actions of other players, such as the creation of roads or structures and the routes they have travelled, will become visible and useable to the player once they have successfully connected areas of the map.

PlayStation Plus is not required to access the asynchronous multiplayer elements of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is developed by Kojima Productions, based in Tokyo. The game is produced, designed and directed by studio founder Hideo Kojima, with character and mecha designs by Yoji Shinkawa, action direction by Yuji Shimomura and music composed by Ludvig Forssell.  

No, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is only available for PlayStation 5 consoles. Explore the PlayStation 5 console range here.
