Enjoy this game peeps, it's bonkers and absolutely amazing.
Quick question: was there any "crossplay" between PC and PS4/5 when it comes to the social online aspects?

I can't stand Death Stranding but this is hilarious regardless. I'm guessing there are some licensing shenanigans preventing a Xbox release?

Edit: oh, Sony straight up owns the IP lol

For anyone who hasn't tried it yet, it's worth it. I had massive doubts about the game Thought gameplay looked boring but it's now one of my favourite games.

The fact that it's a Sony owned and published game. They allowed 505 Games to publish it on PC before their PC initiative was in full swing. No chance they'd do that on Xbox.

Don't tell me that's the Kojima game that was rumored to become a Game Pass title.

Very Hard Mode was a Director's Cut exclusive right?

I'm going to guess this is the DC version but they can't call it that for reasons?

Man I wish there was some voodoo hoochie coochie magic to transfer my PS4 save because that is a game you do NOT want to start over with. Progressing through all the things made everyone so mad is what makes that game special, but MAN IT'S ROUGH.

Wish there was a "Hey I played this when it came out, let's fast forward to the fun!" mode but that might miss the point.

A truly unforgettable experience nonetheless. My GOTY that year, Kojima and Shinkawa with the looks are da GOAT.

This is legit wild. A first(ish) party PlayStation console exclusive coming to Microsoft's subscription platform. PlayStation games on Xbox platforms via the backdoor.

Promoting this with Xbox logo everywhere feels weird to me, PC Game Pass should have its own logo.

If there are PC folks who still haven't played it, you should absolutely start this masterpiece.
