Gamers Are Cancelling Death Stranding Pre-Orders As It’ s Not A PS4 Exclusive 29 October 201929 October 2019 by Lara Jackson After months of rumours, it’s officially been confirmed by Kojima Productions that Death Stranding won’t be a PlayStation 4 exclusive, with the title heading to PC next year. It’s been rumoured for a while now, but the official confirmation has left a bitter taste in the mouths of players, with lots of people actually cancelling their pre-orders of the game following the news.

Surely the more people getting to play a game, the better?)ADVERT ADVERT However, it seems a lot of people disagree with this line of thinking, with literally hundreds of angry gamers taking to social media to vent their frustration. The most popular argument is seemingly that players feel “cheated” out of money when what they thought they were paying for was a PlayStation exclusive.

If they’re not exclusives anymore, why bother?”ADVERT ADVERT People buy consoles for the exclusives. If they're not exclusives anymore, why bother?- Ricardo Dias (@Ricardofpd) October 28, 2019 Along with the people who took issue with the announcement, there’s also a lot of people who’ve decided to drop their pre-order because they’d rather wait for a PC version than a PS4. Okay.Pre-order cancelled.- KOKKEN (@SevenKokken) October 28, 2019 It just goes to show that you can’t please everyone. Where do you stand on the news? Death Stranding launched on PlayStation 4, November 8 2019. It’ll be migrating on over to PC in “early summer 2020.”ADVERT ADVERT Did you know we have a podcast?
