On the third anniversary of the release of Death Stranding, which, along with Death Stranding Director’s Cut, has seen 10 million players step into the tattered boots of protagonist Sam Porter Bridges, Kojima Productions revealed an astonishing milestone.

On November 8, 2019, Death Stranding made its debut on the PlayStation 4, and on July 14, 2020, it was released on the PC. The enhanced Director’s Cut received a native PS5 port, which launched on the system on September 24, 2021. On March 30, 2022, the enhanced Director’s Cut also launched on PC. It’s important to keep in mind that the 10 million figure includes users who may access the game through subscription services like PlayStation Plus and PC Game Pass, which, while not detracting from the accomplishment, is probably a sizable number.

With such a positive response, a sequel seems probable, and rumors have intensified recently. The fact that the game is a post-apocalyptic delivery simulator with a mechanical emphasis on walking—an action that most gamers take completely for granted—makes it all the more remarkable. The game’s release on the eve of the COVID-19 epidemic and its inclusion of themes like loneliness and a desire for connectivity are factors to take into account.

Have you tried Death Stranding yet? Are you shocked that a dedicated walking simulator could achieve such high results? In the comments section below, please keep in mind to raise with your knees.

We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.

TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.

TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.

TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.

Next month, the PS5 Slim will replace the original PS5. Its main selling point is its detachable disc drive. Sony’s design change will streamline manufacturing, but consumers will have more flexibility. The refreshed machine will be 30% smaller than its predecessor, reducing its footprint.

But since the manufacturer hadn’t mentioned it, some worried you couldn’t install another SSD. A spokesperson told IGN that “there are no changes with the new model”—you can still install a compatible hard drive to expand the console’s storage.

Note that the new model increases on-board storage from 825GB to 1TB, so you get more space out of the box. However, some games are now so large that you may need a new PS5 SSD.

If Not Already Clear, Elder Scrolls 6 Will Skip PlayStation

Despite Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda, The Elder Scrolls 6 was not confirmed as an Xbox exclusive a few months ago. This happened because Xbox executive Phil Spencer indicated that target platforms hadn’t been selected yet, but it always felt like he was talking about the game being years away rather than the RPG being on PlayStation.

If you’re still holding out, Microsoft plans to release The Elder Scrolls 6 just on Xbox and PC. Documents from the company’s FTC lawsuit were recently released. In the document, Bethesda’s announced titles (both as a publisher and developer) are listed, and The Elder Scrolls 6 is listed for Xbox, PC, and nothing else.

We expected this, but The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced before Microsoft acquired its developer. The Elder Scrolls is a beloved franchise that’s been on various platforms for generations, so this isn’t Starfield.

However, the game isn’t due until 2026 at the earliest, according to the paper, and who knows what the gaming landscape will be like then.
