In a recent interview organized by publisher 505 Games, Hideo Kojima, director, designer, and screenwriter of Death Stranding, discussed why he created this port, given that several of his previous games were console-only ...

"When I first started in the industry, I worked on PC games. It took me quite a while to get into making games for consoles, so I have a lot of attachment and familiarity with the PC. Games are developed on the PC. However, PlayStation gamers and core PC users are different markets, and the reason "Death Stranding" is being released on PC is simply because we want as many people as possible to play the game. What I am most proud of is the fact that we produced and brushed up the PC version and release ourselves. It's something we take pride in, because normally we would outsource it."

Kojima also spoke about the difficulty of satisfying PC gamers, who he said are "quite vocal and opinionated about games. Particularly given the disparity between high-end and low-end hardware, it was not easy to ensure compatibility with a variety of hardware, "so the big question was where to set the baseline. Another was getting the mouse controls right. I'm not very good at playing games with a mouse, but of course the PC version had to be compatible with mouse controls." I left that up to the staff, though."

As for the game itself, Kojima explained that his inspiration came from his observation that despite how technology connects us, people are more isolated than ever. In such a society, I wanted to create upbeat, positive human connections in my games. I wasn't thinking about creating a new genre or anything grandiose like that."[12

Kojima Productions is currently working on a game, details of which are expected to be announced soon. Currently, Death Stranding is half price on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
