Death Stranding 2 Sees Impressive Debut on Steam

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, initially a PlayStation 5 exclusive for approximately nine months, made its debut on PC last Thursday. Its PC launch was highly anticipated, a fact underscored by the significant praise it has garnered.

During its launch weekend, the game achieved an impressive peak of 57,682 concurrent players on Steam, significantly surpassing the original title’s highest figures. The first Death Stranding peaked at 32,515 concurrent players over its six years on the market, while Death Stranding Director’s Cut reached 22,080.

This success appears well-deserved, given the generally positive reception. For those hoping for an Xbox Series S/X version, a considerable wait is likely in order, as the first game remained a PlayStation console exclusive for five years before eventually arriving on Xbox.
