Kojima Productions and 505 Games have opened pre-orders for the upcoming Mac version of Death Stranding: Director’s Cut. Pre-orders for Death Stranding: Director’s Cut are available in the App Store, and the upcoming release will run natively on Apple silicon.
Death Stranding: Director’s Cut will make use of Metal 3, a new technology that is natively supported on Mac platforms. Metal 3 includes the new MetalFX upscaling technology, which acts similarly to NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS. Fans can expect parity with the existing PlayStation 5 and PC versions of Death Stranding: Director’s Cut. The Director’s Cut content includes Ruined Factory location, new delivery assists for protagonist Sam Bridges, enhanced melee combat, and much more.
Following the release of Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, Apple fans can expect more titles from Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions. Further details about these future titles were not revealed, however.
