Death Stranding surpasses 20 million players amid spike of Steam users presumably trying to finish it before the sequel
I've still got some deliveries to make...

Just three months before 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding 2: On the Beach comes out, the original 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding has passed a huge mi🐓lestone൲: over 20 million of us have played it.
Kojima🌠 tweets: "The number of 'Death Stranding' players has exceeded 20 million. Thank you very much. Sams from all over the world are ✃still delivering. You are connecting the world."
That theme of connection𒁏 is obviously central to Death Stranding. While it's got heavy politi𓆉cal themes and we can draw a lot of parallels between the world of the game and the real one, one part of its meaning was recently revealed by Kojima himself.
"I thought I lost everything when I became alone nine years ago," he said recently, referring to his departure from Konami. It's hard to believe a developer as revered as Kojima could have so m𒁃uch self-doubt, but he did, and that fuelled Death𒅌 Stranding. Ultimately, he found that we were willing to go wherever he took us. "I had something very important, which was connection with people."

With regard to how many people have enjoyed Death Stranding, it's important to note that Kojima states there are over 20 million "players," not 20 million sales. My housemate bought the game and I played his copy, so we'd count as two players but only one sale. So, 20 million isn't a perfect indicator of how much money the game has made, but it clearly did well enough t🗹o justify a sequel.
That being said, the for Death Stranding shot up in March, meaning people are either buying it or replaying it ahead of the sequel. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:That sequel is just three months away, and it's also achieved a milestone recently: all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:recording and sound mixing is now complete. Kojima has consistently shared these kinds of updates, like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:when the Japanese dub was finished and when 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:actors wrapped up filming.
While we wait for June 26, check out all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games of 2025 so you've got something to play in the next couple of months.
