It's no secret that Death Stranding is currently in the hands of gaming media, YouTubers, and more ahead of the game's impending release. The review embargo has been well documented; we'll be reading up on Hideo Kojima's obscure PlayStation 4 title on 1st November. However, some people with early access to the game have jumped the gun. Spoilers and leaks are all over the web, ruining story moments and presumably showing off new footage. If you're excited for the game, watch where you tread.
Naturally, we won't be telling you anything about Death Stranding until the embargo lifts, but there's apparently an awful lot of leaked information out there. We've heard the game's subreddit is a disaster, for example. Interestingly, a YouTuber tweeted (and hastily deleted) an image of their PlayStation 4's menu, where the icon for Death Stranding has a padlock symbol in the bottom left corner. What's that all about? Well, if you see that padlock on any of your games, it means you don't have access to them. This is almost always down to some licensing issue, and in the case of PS Plus games, it probably means you need to top up your subscription. However, the internet has taken this and drawn an interesting conclusion: Sony is blocking access to Death Stranding because of all the spoilers.
We don't think that this speculation carries any water, but the timing is somewhat suspect. It's probably nothing. However, like the world in which Sam Porter Bridges finds himself, you may want to watch your step, because this game is leaking like a Swiss cheese roof.

This is why we can't have nice things.....
Spoiler that guy from the walking dead is in it
Welp time to ignore comment section, put unspoiler chrome extension on youtube, and not going to twitter (got spidey ps4 ending spoiled by some fanboy a***oles) and game forums. Just like before uncharted 4 and god of war, it’s tiring though 😕
Oh and don’t forget to ignore youtube comment on any DS video.
Ahhhh, time to ignore anything to do with DS on the internet then!
Spoiler sammy barker want to go out with taylor Swift on Valentine's day😳.word up son
Apparently there were screenshots and whatnot along with the story leaks. Could still be fake, but it seems like everything leaks ahead of time these days.
Spoiler: I've just read on a Polish gaming site that the game will hit PCs within months of the PS4 release. Some guys will be upset about the lack of "Only on Playstation" on the cover.
Spoiler, the gameplay parts were a lie, it's just a HD visual novel.
@Mince I just mean people have been given this privilege to access the game early only to crap all over it and abuse the privilege.
If people keep this up, it will ruin it for others and video game releases will be handled under the cover of darkness by armed guards only on release day! LOL
Spoiler: Knack is the final boss.
@gollumb82 That still a thing? I thought they'd quashed that rumour long ago. I thought that due to the ps engine and whatever that it was all but confirmed, but maybe I read between some lines somewhere, who knows. I don't mind either way, this one doesn't look like it's for me, but the more people to play the games the better I guess. 🤷♂️
Spoiler: You can't hide in a box or have a 30 minute codec conversation.
@nookie_egg
My thoughts exactly. I game on PS4 and PC so I'm covered either way
I know someone who reads Wikipedia plot entries before watching films because he doesn’t like to be “tricked” by them. Weirdo.
To be honest I browse the subreddit everyday and I still haven't found a single spoiler! I'm not looking for them obviously but I'm glad I haven't found one.
Anyway, I wonder what are the kinds of things that you can get spoiled 🤔
Don't google or watch anything death stranding related till Nov 1.
I am waiting for reviews before deciding if this is worth the time
@kyleforrester87 that is weird. I’m the complete opposite. Sometimes I don’t even watch trailers because they reveal too much.
Death Stranding is going to be a nice surprise for me.
@GamingFan4Lyf That's how you get ants, crawling the internet reposting spoilers.
