- Death Stranding Director’s Cut is currently the second most top-paid game on the Xbox Store.
- Only Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has surpassed the five-year-old game in rankings.
- The Death Stranding sequel is likely to be released sometime next year, possibly on other platforms and PS5.
Death Stranding slowly became associated with the PlayStation platform over the five years since its release. However, the entry made a surprising debut on the Xbox Store when its exclusivity period had ended. Many thought the AAA title would likely fail to make it big on the Microsoft platform, but new results suggest otherwise.
Death Stranding Director’s Cut is currently the second most top-paid game on the Xbox Store. The game has surpassed many other giants popular in the gaming industry at the moment, with only Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 ahead of it.
Why it matters: Death Stranding Director’s Cut release on Xbox has proven to be a highly successful endeavor for the game and the platform despite rumors suggesting otherwise.
A major part of Death Stranding Director’s Cut’s success on the Xbox Store is the massive 50% off sale, allowing both new and old players to grab the game on the platform.
Even some who owned it already on other devices have bought it again for Xbox because of the tempting offer. Death Stranding will likely continue dominating the store—and might even hog the top spot—until the deal ends.
The Death Stranding IP is owned by Kojima Productions now, suggesting we might see the sequel release on all platforms together next year besides only PS5.
