Rumour Sony's Death Stranding May Be Coming to Game Pass on PC
Err
In another bizarre twist, the Sony owned Death Stranding looks poised to be added to the PC Game Pass catalogue.

News Death Stranding Director's Cut PS5 Upgrade Is Just £5 in the UK
Less than expected
When Death Stranding Director's Cut confirmed its PlayStation 4 to PS5 upgrade path would cost $10, it was sort of assumed the price would carry over to other territories.
