Death Stranding 2: On the Beach sales exceed 2 million after PC launch

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has surpassed 2 million total sales following its PC release. Alinea Analytics estimates the game sold 425,000 copies in its first week on PC, building on 1.6 million units for the PS5 version.

Hideo Kojima's Kojima Productions has seen Death Stranding 2: On the Beach reach over 2 million copies sold across platforms. The PC port, according to estimates from Alinea Analytics, contributed 425,000 units in its debut week. This marks a more than 20 percent sales increase from the PS5 performance alone, as reported by analyst Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics. The PS5 version generated an estimated £82.6 million ($110 million), while PC added £24.5 million ($32.6 million). The PC launch also triggered a secondary sales spike on PS5. Elliott noted that while a price cut may have played a role, the PC release served as an effective re-marketing tool for the console version. Players have engaged deeply with the PC edition, averaging 18 hours of playtime in the first week. Over a third of Steam players have logged more than 20 hours, with nearly 5 percent exceeding 50 hours, Elliott observed. The port's preparation last week involved a Steam file update mishap that leaked and enabled piracy of the full game. Eurogamer described the title as both more and less radical than the original Death Stranding.
