A discount you can't miss
As we have mentioned, Death Stranding's arrival on Xbox Series X|S brings with it an incredible discount: 50% compared to the original price, which puts the game at just 19,99 euros. However, you should hurry, as this offer is only available until November 14.
The game's original price is 39,99 euros, so this is an opportunity that few will want to miss. In addition, this launch on Xbox has come as a surprise to many, since although the title was already available on PC through Game Pass, it had never been officially released for Xbox consoles until now.
A strategic move for Xbox
In addition to the significant discount, the arrival of Death Stranding on Microsoft's platform also reinforces the company's strategy to offer high-quality exclusive titles on its console. Although for a long time, the title was exclusive to PlayStation, the transfer to the Xbox ecosystem represents an important milestone for both franchises.
Likewise, Hideo Kojima's announcement that he is working on a new Xbox exclusive project has also captured the attention of fans. The upcoming title, tentatively known as “OD,” promises to be a completely new horror experience. With Death Stranding already out and its next project on the way, Xbox gamers have a lot to look forward to from Kojima Productions.
A resounding commercial success since its first releases
As if that weren't enough, Death Stranding has proven to be a commercial success since its launch on other platforms. According to financial data from 505 Games, the PC version of the title generated more than 20 million euros in revenue in 2020, making it one of its publisher’s most successful games. These impressive results underline the popularity of Hideo Kojima’s work among gamers around the world.
The game was originally released on PlayStation 4 in November 2019, and in July 2020, it came to PC. With this latest addition to Xbox, the title has managed to further expand its audience, attracting both new players and those who want to rediscover the game on a different platform.
