We all understood that it was coming after confirmation just prior to its initial release, but we now know that Death Stranding can no longer be considered a PlayStation 4 exclusive from 2nd June 2020. That's the release date for the PC version of the game, which comes with a couple of extra bells and whistles in both the graphical and content departments.
Most exciting of which is a crossover with video game franchise Half-Life, which allows protagonist Sam Porter Bridges to sport a Headcrab on his noggin. It's an interesting choice indeed, but it'll be followed by a photo mode, a higher frame rate, and ultra-wide monitor support. It's not yet known whether the new items will be added to the PS4 version of Death Stranding, but we doubt that'll happen. This sort of content appears to incentivise people interested in the title into picking up the PC version, with 505 Games controlling things when it comes to publishing.
More PS4 games are heavily rumoured to be joining Death Stranding on the personal computer, including the likes of Horizon: Zero Dawn and Dreams. We're yet to receive confirmation of that, but it appears to be a foregone conclusion in the case of Guerrilla Games' latest IP.

A bit of an insult to hold photo mode from the PS4 version
I don't see why the photo mode wouldn't come to the PS4 version.
No photomode on PS4 that would be nasty. I think that Kojima could at least add that too the game. For the use off the engine and funding.
I hope the modding community has a hayday with this, maybe it'll end up a fun game ππ
climbs on planks of wood to prep for crucification
I think that Dreams was already denied for PC. Funny is that there are no graphical upgrades.
@Broosh gets the nails and hammer.
I have Death Stranding although haven't played it yet but assumed that such a pretty game would have photo mode. How strange.
I don't think PS4 owners have any issues with this game going to PC. It was announced before the game was released last November so we were forewarned!
Horizon though, something doesnt sit right with me regarding that game. It's an IP with so much potential and I think it would be a waste to end it's PS exclusivity.
With a potential modding community and the headcrab hat, I may finally get this game on PC.
Sigh, disappointing that photo mode is yet to be included in the PS4 version. It's such a natural fit for this game, you'd assume it would have been a feature since day 1. I hope to see this added later down the line; don't particularly care about the exclusive HL stuff tho, if tbh.
@Col_McCafferty. I know right horizon should remain a PlayStation exclusive.if someone wants this game.buy a ps4.thats a fact black.word up son
@Col_McCafferty Yes I feel the same. This is fine going to other platforms as is a third party developer and it was announced for PC before it came out, I wish Kojima well with sales on PC.
Horizon on the other hand is a beloved exclusive that we mention everytime we talk about the greatest exclusives and when people ask about PlayStation exclusives that need to be played. To take that away just to make a few bucks is stupid.
Ooh, another Half Life crossover like FFXV. I know my brother will be glad itβs coming to PC because heβs moved out and the PS4 is all to myself now.
@Neolit Ha, I've edited my post now. Sorry for the confusion!
Oh and I'd like Breath of the Wild to be on the PS4 but it ain't gonna happen and I'm fine with that. It should be to play Horizon buy a PS4.

I'll be annoyed if photo mode isn't added since it's been a long requested feature.
I just want that 60 fps mode, I hope kojipro can add that to the ps4 pro, or at least update the game on ps5 with 60 fps and 4k mode.
@playstation1995 Damn straight!
I'm not sure if that the reveal they were hinting but I genuinely laughed when I saw the Headcrab. A master troll tease that was if it's only that haha
Hopefully theres more though.
Hey guys, Liam, Have you guys noticed that the Photo Mode menu is all PlayStation navigational icons in this video?? So Photo mode is pretty much on the way to the PS4.
That Kojima huh!!
@JJ2 Yeah I think their teaser tweets were probably just referring to this.
Good. More people need to enjoy this amazing game.
My thought is don't waste you time and money on this trashhh game. KOJIMA makes PS4 players look like fools.
I will bet you that it will port to PS5 with photo mode.
People playing on a different platform to me doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game one iota...
Don't care about the Half Life content but i'm going to be really unhappy if we don't get the Photo Mode for PS4.
Have no problems with games going to PC. They should give PS4 owners the photo mode too though. Only reason to exclude is if the PS4 can't handle it/
is PS4 getting the photomode though, pretty much all I'm bothered about tbh
SONY doing a Microsoft I prefer Exclusives to be Exclusives really and REALLY HOPE that Horizon Zero Dawn doesn't go to PC to :-/
@Col_McCafferty It was even already said it would come to the PC long before we even saw anything of it tbh.
@RedMan33
I suspect it will get it updated on the PS4 version.
@Neolit
I just bought my fist console since the 360 last december, a PS4 Pro. I now got more then 80 games on it with VR and the whole shebang and its great. No waiting for titles to come out and i can finally play all the exclusives i always wanted to play on it whenever i want : * )
And the games still dont look outdated and this is coming from a (usually ) PC gamer. But i have been playing on the PS4 since december because i have this whoel backlog i bougt (in very good deals around christmas and decemeber). I dont really even need to buy any games for it this year because i bought so late into the game.
I believe they'll add the photo mode to the PS4 version any time soon. The IP is still owned by SIE after all (you can see the SIE Presents screen in the PC trailer). Maybe when the PS5 finally is unveiled they'll announce an update to DS PS4 so it can use the capabilities of the new hardware via Backward Compatibility, including 60FPS and of course Photo Mode (which will be available on PS4 too).
@Neolit
Yeah absolutely i am not one that thinks all games should be exclusive to platform X but at the same time i do think a console needs to have pure exclusives in order for me to consider one.
And, i usually buy a console once i notice that my PC is getting a harder time and since i wanted a 27" 1440P (which is a lot more then 2K you can hardly discern it from 4K touch screen for my music studio my 980ti I decided that now i s the time to buy a Pro.
Still shooter games on a gamepad is something i probably never will get good at online !
@Col_McCafferty its stil playstation exclusive now pc just like Microsoft put Froza on pc Microsoft put all there games on pc try make salesπ but sony chosen to put 1 or 2 not all ps4 classic exclusives on pc games like Horizon zero Dawn and death stranding deserves be played by pc Gamers as aslong as its few years later I don't mind pc gamers getting few awesome playstation exclusives but probably WONT see God of war or spiderman maybe Uncharted I don't mean via ps now
