It seems that Game Pass is offering users a PlayStation console-exclusive game.

The vast majority of games added to Xbox Game Pass will be included in PC Game Pass, but there are, of course, exceptions. In some cases, some games are only available on the standard Xbox version, and in other cases, some games are only available to those who subscribe to the PC service. A new rumour suggests that PC Game Pass could get another exclusivity, possibly in the form of a PlayStation console exclusive.

Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding was initially released in 2019 as a PlayStation 4 exclusive title.

A year or so later, Death Stranding: Director’s Cut was released as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, introducing new features, gameplay mechanics, and a general update to the game. Then, in March 2022, Death Stranding: Director’s Cut made its way to PC, and it looks like this version of the game could be coming to PC Game Pass in the near future.

The PC Game Pass Twitter account made a “subtle” hint to this, which changed its profile picture to a foggy landscape. The account drew attention to its new profile picture by tweeting that “sometimes we just like a good landscape picture,” leading many to speculate that the account may be referring to the service’s new title. The consensus seems to be that the image is a screenshot from Death Stranding, though some believe it is actually from upcoming Xbox releases such as Hellblade 2 or Starfield.

Death Stranding was originally a PlayStation release, so some fans may immediately dismiss the rumour as impossible. It’s worth pointing out, however, that 505 Games published the PC version of Death Stranding, so it makes sense that this could be the loophole that brings the game to the PC service. Not incidentally, this wouldn’t be the first time PlayStation has allowed a game it owns to be brought to the service, as it happened with the latest in the MLB The Show series of baseball games.

If PC Game Pass does indeed promise the addition of Death Stranding, it could arrive next month at the earliest.

Microsoft has already announced all the new games coming to Xbox Game Pass in August 2022, and Death Stranding wasn’t on the list. However, if the rumours are true, it’s entirely possible that the game will be part of the September offering. Ultimately, it’s best for Kojima fans to temper their expectations.
