  • Our take on the Death Stranding Director's Cut

    Death Stranding Director's Cut is Kojima Productions' expanded version of its 2019 delivery-and-survival game, built for PS5 and later ported to PC and Xbox. It adds a firing range, ranked races, a cargo catapult, buddy bot, and new story missions to the original's long walks across a ruined America. The core loop of planning routes, balancing cargo, and building zip lines and roads is slow and divisive, but players who click with it call it one of the most original big-budget games of its generation. It suits patient players who like atmosphere and systems over constant action; anyone wanting fast combat should look elsewhere.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Director's Cut worth it over the original?
    Yes, if you are buying fresh. It bundles the base game with extra missions, a firing range, ranked races, a cargo catapult and a buddy bot, and it runs better on current hardware.
    Do I need to play the original first?
    No. The Director's Cut includes the full original story, so it is the complete package to start with.
    How long is the campaign?
    The main story runs roughly 40 to 60 hours, and completionists can spend well over 100 hours building out the map.
    Is it an action game?
    Mostly not. It is a traversal and logistics game with some stealth and combat; the challenge is planning routes and managing cargo.
    Does it have multiplayer?
    Not direct multiplayer. It uses an asynchronous online system where other players' structures and supplies appear in your world.
    Which platforms is it on?
    It started on PS5 and has since come to PC and Xbox Series X|S.
    Where is the Death Stranding Director's Cut cheapest?
