Death Stranding 2<\/a>‘s PC release has pushed the sequel’s cumulative sales past 2 million.<\/p>\n

That’s according to new estimates from Alinea Analytics, which claims Hideo Kojima<\/a>‘s second Death Stranding game has sold 425,000 copies in its opening week on PC.<\/p>\n

On top of the 1.6 million copies sold thus far on PS5, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach’s total volume now tops 2 million.<\/p>\n

That means porting Death Stranding 2 on PC has boosted Kojima Productions’ sales by over 20 percent, generating an estimated \u00a382.6 million ($110m) on PS5, and \u00a324.5 million ($32.6m) on PC.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the analysis also claims the PC release prompted a secondary spike in PS5 sales, too. While it’s possible a sizeable price cut helped convert sales, analyst Rhys Elliott suggests “the discount was only part of the story”, and believes the PC release was an effective re-marketing tool for PS5, too.<\/p>\n

“Players are getting sucked into Death Stranding 2 on PC,” Elliott wrote. “In a week, it has an average playtime of 18 hours. Over a third of the player base on Steam has already played for 20 hours or more, and almost 5 percent has played for over 50 hours. Fair play.”<\/p>\n

Last week, Death Stranding 2’s port leaked and was promptly pirated after a misstep during Steam file updates in preparation for the launch<\/a>, making unencrypted files of the full game available by mistake.<\/p>\n

Eurogamer’s review of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach<\/a> described it as “both more and less radical” than the original.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Death Stranding 2‘s PC release has pushed the sequel’s cumulative sales past 2 million.
