Death Stranding’s Xbox release coinciding with the game’s fifth anniversary suggests that the game’s PlayStation exclusivity window has closed, and full control of the IP now sits with its developer and publisher.

Kojima Productions is currently working on a sequel to Death Stranding, as well as OD, which will be an Xbox exclusive.
