Sony and Kojima Productions have officially confirmed asynchronous multiplayer in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, continuing the series' signature "social strand system" from the original game. Crucially, these online features won't require a PlayStation Plus subscription.

The PlayStation Store description reveals players will encounter roads, bridges, and other structures built by other players, enhancing exploration and collaboration. These interactive elements unlock after connecting different game regions, creating a shared world experience.

Hideo Kojima will be at SXSW on March 10, 2025, offering further details on mechanics, gameplay innovations, and narrative. Recent updates confirm the Death Stranding 2 trailer is in final editing, with music playing a key role in the storytelling.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach launches exclusively on PlayStation 5 at the end of 2025. This highly anticipated sequel builds upon the original's unique interactive elements while introducing new features to engage both veteran and new players. Expect more updates soon!
