Death Stranding Director’s Cut is coming to Mac

KOJIMA Productions, and videogame publisher 505 Games proudly announced the forthcoming release of the award-winning Death Stranding Director’s Cut on Mac, Hideo Kojima’s definitive vision of his critically-acclaimed and genre-defying epic.

Available to pre-order now on the Mac App Store Death Stranding Director’s Cut will run natively on Apple silicon and makes full use of Metal 3 features like MetalFX Upscaling, allowing for unbeatable graphical fidelity and amazing performance.

Here is what Hideo Kojima had to say about the news: 

“I have been a die-hard Apple fan since I bought my first Mac back in 1994—and it has been a dream of mine to see my team’s best work come to life on the Mac. Death Stranding Director’s Cut on the Mac takes advantage of the latest Apple technologies to provide the best experience to our fans.”

Death Stranding Director’s Cut will be coming to Mac later this year for $39.99 USD with no exact release date being shared yet.

The definitive version includes the ‘Ruined Factory’ location, a treacherous underground compound packed with fresh dangers, and the game’s protagonist Sam Bridges now has a wealth of new delivery assists, from cargo catapults and ramps to a stabiliser function. Melee combat has been amped up with enhanced moves such as the drop kick, whilst the new Maser Gun pacifies enemies with electricity. Finding the perfect weapon loadout is now achievable thanks to the new firing range location, whilst vehicles can be raced on the new racetrack minigame. Sam can even ride Buddy Bots to traverse the wastelands with greater ease.
