Death Stranding Director's Cut PC - Release date, price, update, new content and features

Death Stranding Director's Cut is coming to PC. The definitive edition of Hideo Kojima's latest game was first released in September 2021 for console players, and around half a year later PC gamers will finally have a chance to experience all the improvements added to Director's Cut.

Director's Cut brings a slew of improvements and new content to the original game, and it is well worth your time to re-experience the game even if you've played it already.

Interestingly enough, Kojima himself (who is Death Stranding's game director) doesn't really like the name "Director's Cut" for this version of the game, as it implies that something was taken out of the game when it was first released, which is not the case here.

Rather, all the new content and improvements are developed after the game's release. Some are features and content which were not ready on time for the original release, and others are improvements added based on player feedback.

With that being said, let's check out all the important details you need to know about Death Stranding Director's Cut on PC.
