"A common source for leaks may have struck again: the Entertainment Software Ratings Board may have spoiled the imminent PC launch for Kojima Productions' Death Stranding 2: On The Beach. The listing, which has since been removed from the ESRB's website, showed an identical entry to the PS5 version. This likely means that the PC release probably won't include additional content in the same way that Death Stranding: Director's Cut did in 2021."
"Considering we are just a couple of weeks away from The Game Awards, I wouldn't be surprised to see Death Stranding 2 get a shadow drop during the ceremony. After all, awards showrunner Geoff Keighley and series creator Hideo Kojima are pretty darn tight, and this kind of blockbuster announcement is exactly the sort of viral moment the show usually angles for."
"Even if it doesn't release during the show, it's surprising to see the game appear on the ESRB's list so soon, considering it's only been six months since the game first released. PlayStation is fairly conservative about porting its games to PC, typically waiting a couple of years before bringing its biggest hits to Steam and other storefronts. 2023's Spider-Man 2, for example, didn't release until January 2025."
An ESRB listing briefly appeared for Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, showing an identical entry to the PS5 version and suggesting a PC release that likely lacks Director's Cut–style extra content. The listing has been removed, but timing suggests a possible announcement around The Game Awards, where a shadow drop could occur given Hideo Kojima's ties to showrunner Geoff Keighley. The appearance is notable because the game released on PS5 only six months ago, whereas PlayStation typically waits years before PC ports. PlayStation appears increasingly willing to cross-release major titles to expand audience reach while still limiting console-first windows.
