Death Stranding 2 for PC may have been canceled or delayed

Potential Cancellation or Delay of Death Stranding 2 on PC? ESRB Update Stirs Speculation

Gamers anticipating a PC release of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach may be disappointed to learn that the ESRB website has altered its listing, removing any mention of a PC version. The original ESRB listing, which included a PC version, was widely shared on social media. Now, screenshots of the updated rating are circulating, fueling speculation that the PC version may be canceled. The removal of the Windows PC version from the ESRB rating raises the question of whether its initial inclusion was an error, or a reflection of changing release plans. While this change suggests internal discussions about platform releases are ongoing, Kojima Productions has not officially announced any cancellation of the PC version, nor had they ever confirmed its existence. ESRB database changes can occur due to errors, corrections, or internal decisions that have not yet been communicated. Image credit: ESRB.
