Death Stranding slowly became associated with the PlayStation platform over the five years since its release. However, the entry made a surprising debut on the Xbox Store when its exclusivity period had ended. Many thought the AAA title would likely fail to make it big on the Microsoft platform, but new results suggest otherwise.

Death Stranding Director’s Cut is currently the second most top-paid game on the Xbox Store. The game has surpassed many other giants popular in the gaming industry at the moment, with only Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 ahead of it.

Death Stranding Director's Cut Is Currently 2nd Top-Paid Game On Xbox Store

Death Stranding Director's Cut has continued to sell like hotcakes on the Xbox Store after its surprising debut, taking the second top place.

Launching it at 50% of the price was a great idea and has helped a lot.

It really was a smart launch. There was no need for great marketing because the impact of the arrival to XBOX and its repercussion was going to do the job. Putting the game in a privileged place and high visibility in the Xbox Store and the price has also helped.

No shit.

First time Xbox gets to experience a good walking simulator.

Proper pricing + Play Anywhere can do wonders

it's been 2nd behind CoD only for the last two weeks, since it launched.

Smart of them to not launch a delayed port at full price.

Platform needs real and good games. Good for them.

I thought the first was Hellblade II.

Hellblade II does not actually simulate the finer intricacies of the great walking experiment. Death Stranding expertly simulates the balance aspect of bipedalism, threatening the player with the very possible quandary that any sudden form of locomotion could result in a deathly fall.

What's the equivalent of DJ Khaled's "Another One" for Xbox?

When we all play we all win
