The giveaway is part of Epic Games Store's regular free game promotions, which are currently being featured during the Epic Mega Sale event.

The free offer includes only the base edition of Death Stranding, which typically retails for $30 on the Epic Games Store. The Director's Cut version, which includes additional content and features, is not available for free but is currently discounted to $24 (down from $40) until June 15.

About Death Stranding and Its Sequel

Death Stranding is an open-world action game created by Hideo Kojima, the legendary game designer behind the Metal Gear Solid series. The game was released in 2019 and stars Norman Reedus as Sam Bridges, a delivery person tasked with transporting packages across a post-apocalyptic United States that has been transformed by supernatural phenomena known as the Death Stranding.

The game is described as a "walking simulator" that requires players to carefully consider their footing, balance packages on their back, and use construction tools to build roads and bridges across the terrain. It features a complex narrative that has divided critics and players alike, with some praising its ambition and uniqueness while others finding its plot difficult to follow.

Death Stranding 2 (currently a working title) was announced at The Game Awards and is confirmed for PS5. Norman Reedus has indicated that players should not expect the game before 2024 at the earliest, with some estimates suggesting a 2024 or 2025 release window. The game is currently in development, with motion capture work having begun the previous year.

Conclusion

Two separate promotional opportunities are currently available for Death Stranding fans. The original game can be claimed for free through the Epic Games Store until May 25, while free Death Stranding 2 PSN avatars are available through regional claim codes. These promotions provide opportunities for both new players to experience the original game and existing fans to show their support for the upcoming sequel.

The free game offer is particularly valuable given that Death Stranding typically retails for $30, while the PSN avatars offer a way for players to customize their profiles with content related to the anticipated sequel. Both promotions are time-limited, with the Epic Games Store offer ending in May and the PSN avatars presumably available for a limited period, though specific expiration dates for the avatar promotion were not provided in the source material.
