On its blog, 505 Games announced quite the slew of information about the PC release of Death Stranding Director’s Cut. It includes the aforementioned release date, which is 30 March. The post also mentions the ability to upgrade to the director’s cut from the base game, if you already own that.

☔️ Release date👶 Pricing🦀 Upgrade info👍 PC minimum and recommended specs📦 Game save transfer In our latest blog, we give more info on @KojiPro2015_EN’s DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT, coming to PC: https://t.co/Lq9U0a7gCj pic.twitter.com/uoydt5eDTA — 505 Games (@505_Games) January 27, 2022 Then there’s the minimum and recommended PC specs for the game. Which hasn’t changed at all compared to the requirements of the base game. Which is great news, since upgrading during a chip shortage isn’t exactly affordable, even if you can find parts you want. And finally, to entice newcomers to the game, 505 Games also announced that the base game will be getting a 70% price cut during the Steam Lunar New Year sale. Which, starts later today, coincidentally. So even if you buy the base Death Stranding first and then upgrade to the director’s cut later, it will probably be substantially cheaper than getting the whole thing later. (Source: 505 Games)
