Death Stranding Rated for PC - News

Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding released for the PlayStation 4 on November 8, 2019 and the game will launch for Windows PC will launch on the same day for Steam and Epic Games Store in early summer 2020 for $59.99.

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) have rated the Windows PC version of the game, giving it a Mature rating. The rating lists blood, intense violence, partial nudity, and strong language as to why it was rated M. 


Read the rating summary below:

This is an action game in which players assume the role of a courier (Sam Porter) transporting packages across a post-apocalyptic environment. As players traverse mountainous terrain, they can be attacked by human settlers and ghostly apparitions. Players use machine guns, grenades, and shotguns to kill enemies; firefights are highlighted by realistic gunfire, large splashes of blood, and cries of pain.

Cutscenes contain more intense instances of violence: a man and an infant shot—the latter, accidentally (blood splatter appears below the infant); a character shooting a comatose patient in the head; a man stabbing himself repeatedly in the distance. A handful of scenes depict a character with his buttocks exposed. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” appear in the dialogue.

I'll pick it up, although the other live gamers ingame sounds kinda annoying.

You never see the other players. They just contribute to building stuff that appears in your world and leave stuff lying around etc

Hmm, still sounds annoying. But not game breaking I suppose.
