The Death Stranding series has reached 28 million players. Hideo Kojima shared the milestone on November 7, 2026, marking the first game's seventh anniversary. The total covers the original Death Stranding, Death Stranding: Director's Cut, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
The milestone counts players across console and PC releases, not copies sold. A separate analyst estimate put Death Stranding 2: On the Beach at 2.5 million copies sold across PS5 and PC as of September 2026.

Where you can play both games
Death Stranding started as a PS4 exclusive, then arrived on PC less than a year later. The Director's Cut reached PS5 in September 2021, and the first game's platform expansion continued in 2024 with releases on iOS, Amazon Luna, and Xbox Series X|S.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is currently available on PS5 and PC. Those are the two platforms where you can play both entries. Xbox, iOS, and Amazon Luna players can access the original, but the sequel has not reached those systems.
The original is an open-world action-adventure game built around delivering cargo across a post-apocalyptic United States, combining traversal, resource management, and asynchronous multiplayer.
Death Stranding beyond the games
Kojima Productions has not confirmed another Death Stranding game, but three screen projects are in development:
- Isolations, an anime series.
- Mosquito, an anime film.
- A separate live-action adaptation, which is in production without an announced release window.
