But as well as securing the latest releases, the Epic Games Store continues to give players several free games.

Death Stranding is getting a special edition controller to commemorate the game’s upcoming release on Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro later this month. Hideo Kojima’s 2019 action title earned warm reviews for its haunting dystopian atmosphere, themes of connection and isolation that grew increasingly resonant in the years that followed its launch, and an ambitious cast of celebrity actors that included the likes of Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen. Two years after the original’s PS4 release, Death Stranding: Director's Cut was launched for the PlayStation 5 in 2021, featuring enhanced graphics and a wealth of new gameplay content.

The Director's Cut version of the game is arriving January 30 on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with pre-orders currently open, 505 Games announced Tuesday. The studio, which was also responsible for the PC port, will bring the Kojima Productions' title to compatible apple devices.

The upcoming film adaptation of Norman Reedus Walking Simulator - aka Death Stranding - has signed up arthouse darlings A24.

Death Stranding is coming to the big screen, thanks to a partnership between indie film studio A24 and game developer Kojima Productions. The announcement comes ahead of the Hideo Kojima-helmed studio's 8th anniversary. The film adaptation will focus on the mysteries surrounding the titular apocalyptic event that brought the nightmarish creatures called BT into the living world, blurring the lines between the dead and the living through a portal. Instead of a direct translation of the divisive 2019 video game, the film will serve as a companion piece that further expands the solitary universe. The world of Death Stranding is also set to return in DS2, a sequel announced at last year's The Game Awards.

A24 has partnered with Kojima Productions to bring the live-action Death Stranding film to life.

It’s not controversial to say that Death Stranding is not a game for everyone, but Kojima Productions’ open world title has, nonetheless, continued to attract a healthy number of players ever since its launch in 2019. It has, in fact, crossed another major milestone on that front.

Kojima Productions has announced a collaboration with A24, the studio behind Academy Award winning films such as Everything Everywhere All At Once, to adapt Death Stranding into a live-action feature film.

Kojima Productions announced last year that it had partnered with Hammerstone Studios to officially begin development of a Death Stranding film. Now, another major player that will be involved with the project has been revealed.

From Death Stranding 2 and Wonder Woman, to Judas and Hellblade 2, these are just some of the games we're hoping will make an appearance at this year's Game Awards.

During a recent live Q&A on Twitch, producer and host of The Game Awards revealed quite a few details about this year’s show, including its potential length, as well as the fact that it will have increased security. Keighly also spoke about other things about the show, including the fact that discussions were had about new categories being added to The Game Awards.

505 Games parent company Digital Bros have announced - you guessed it - a round of mass layoffs. Following in the wake of Microsoft, Epic, CD Projekt, Sony and, well, take your pick, the company aim to cut roughly 30% of their workforce to shore up profits. The specific reasoning here is that Digital Bros think that people aren't interested in playing original new games; they'd rather get to grips with fictions and franchises they know and love already. As such, the company plan to "limit" their big budget projects in future, though no specific cancellations have been announced.

Apple unveiled its new iPhone 15 lineup at its Wonderlust event on Tuesday, announcing plans to bring some AAA console and PC games to the mobile platform. That is if you purchase an iPhone 15 Pro, which is powered by the cutting-edge six-core A17 Pro chipset that allows for the games to run natively on the device with ray-tracing enabled. Games like Resident Evil 4 remake, Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and the upcoming Assassin's Creed Mirage will be out on the iPhone 15 Pro later this year and into early 2024. The company has historically boasted about its mobile devices' gaming performance, but this would be the first time we ever actually get to see it in action.

Kojima Productions will release Death Stranding for iPhone 15 Pro later in 2023, the developer announced.

Sony has reportedly begun rolling out public beta access for cloud gaming on the PS5. As per ResetEra user ArashiGames, chosen PS Plus Premium members will be able to stream select games at up to 4K resolution. While the company confirmed the addition of cloud streaming in June, it's only now that we're learning about the supported resolution. That said, it's unclear whether the maximum resolution refers to the in-game graphical fidelity or the streaming resolution, but a screenshot suggests that available resolutions are entirely dependent on the player's internet connection. The core idea is that you can play games from the cloud without actually owning or downloading any of them.

For all its ups and downs, Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding remains a unique experience, especially with fans discovering new things almost four years after its release. It makes the wait for Death Stranding 2 much more palpable, but we still lack much information.

Death Stranding is one of four games leaving Xbox Game Pass this month.
