Is Death Stranding 2 coming to Xbox Series X/S?

No, Death Stranding 2 is not coming to Xbox Series X or S. The Kojima Productions title is currently set to arrive on PlayStation 5 exclusively. The developers have not announced plans to release the game on other consoles or PC. Given that Sony is the publisher, it is unlikely that the title will be released on competing platforms anytime soon.

Death Stranding 2 is set to be released on June 26, 2025, over five years after the first title.

Death Stranding 2 is only available for PlayStation 5

Kojima Productions' official website lists PlayStation 5 as the only platform to receive Death Stranding 2: On the Beach upon release on June 26, 2025. That being said, the developers have not suggested any release dates for other platforms, including Xbox, which previously had the first Death Stranding title in 2019.

Other platforms, such as the Nintendo Switch 2, will also not have the game upon release. Some speculate that it may be released across different platforms in the future; however, there is currently no proof to support this.

The first Death Stranding title, released in 2019, was initially put out on PS4 and later released on PS5 via the Director's Cut. A similar transition could make it available on other platforms as well, and it is entirely possible.

The greatest concern may be about the quality of the game provided by various platforms. Older gen consoles cannot nearly provide the same quality or support for graphically-intensive titles such as Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.

Furthermore, Sony's historic partnership with Hideo Kojima, the designer of the Death Stranding games, makes it easier for PS5 to be favored over other platforms.

So, it's not a major surprise that the studio is leaning towards PlayStation 5. After all, the studio has come as a direct result of the partnership between Sony and Kojima.
