For gamers who have been anticipating a price reduction on Hideo Kojima’s latest release, the wait is finally over. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has just received its first significant discount since its PS5 debut in June. As part of a special PlayStation Studios promotion leading up to Prime Big Deal Days, the title is now available for $50, a full $20 off its original $70 price tag, at major retailers including Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and GameStop.
Set one year after the events of the first installment, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach continues the journey of Sam Porter Bridges. The narrative unfolds in a desolate post-apocalyptic landscape where civilization teeters on the edge of collapse. Sam’s new objective involves reconnecting the isolated inhabitants of Australia to the Chiral Network, a vital system maintained by the UCA, the surviving remnants of the former United States of America. This sequel refines many of the original game’s mechanics, offering a uniquely meditative experience centered around transporting cargo, evading dangerous spectral entities, and unraveling an enigmatic plot.
While Death Stranding 2 remains a divisive title much like its predecessor, fans of the first game will likely find the sequel even more rewarding. It expands on gameplay depth and exploration opportunities, delivering a more diverse and engaging loop. The production values are exceptional, featuring standout performances from a celebrated cast and incredibly polished presentation throughout.
Similar to other PlayStation exclusives, though it is widely anticipated to be a timed exclusive before eventual releases on PC and Xbox Series X|S, Death Stranding 2 launched with several special edition items. These limited-run accessories are still up for grabs, including the stylish Death Stranding 2-themed DualSense controller priced at $85 and the comprehensive Collector’s Edition available for $230 directly from PlayStation Direct.
This discount on Death Stranding 2 is part of a broader sale on PlayStation-published PS5 titles this week. Numerous PlayStation Studios games are being offered with savings of up to $40 at participating retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop, providing an excellent opportunity for players to expand their libraries.
