In an unexpected turn of events, the highly anticipated release of Death Stranding for iPhone, iPad, and Mac has been delayed until 2024, leaving eager fans patiently waiting for the immersive experience on their Apple devices. Publisher 505 Games, responsible for bringing the game to the iOS and Mac platforms, conveyed the delay through a statement on social media, expressing the need for “just a little more time” to ensure the game’s optimal performance.
When Death Stranding finally makes its debut on Apple devices, enthusiasts can anticipate the arrival of the Director’s Cut edition tailored for phones, tablets, and Mac computers. Notably, iPads and Macs equipped with an M1 chip or newer will be the chosen platforms for this gaming adventure. Moreover, for iPhone users, the iPhone 15 Pro becomes a prerequisite to delve into the intricacies of Death Stranding, a captivating experience that comes with a price tag of $40.
The postponement of Death Stranding follows a trend in the gaming industry’s integration with Apple hardware, as games like Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Village, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and The Division Resurgence find their way to the latest iPhones. This move signals a shift from relying on cloud gaming for current-gen titles, with a focus on native compatibility and optimized performance on Apple devices.
Adding to the buzz surrounding Death Stranding, Kojima Productions recently unveiled a partnership with renowned movie studio A24 for the development of a movie adaptation. Simultaneously, the studio is diligently working on the much-anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2, promising fans a continuation of the captivating narrative and unique gameplay that made the original title a phenomenon in the gaming world. As the countdown to 2024 begins, enthusiasts eagerly await the moment when Death Stranding will redefine the gaming experience on iOS and Mac.
