Xbox gamers are happy to finally be able to go hands-on with Kojima’s critically acclaimed title.
While certainly a divisive game due to its slower pace,Death Strandingwas nevertheless one of the biggest games of 2019, as many would expect for a Kojima production. The game went on to be nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards next to titles like Remedy’sControl, theResident Evil 2remake, andSekiro: Shadow’s Die Twice, which ultimately took home the award.Death Stranding’s director’s cut,the version that made its way to Xboxlast week, was released in 2021 and enhanced the game for PlayStation 5.

With just about one week passing sinceDeath Strandingappeared on Xbox out of thin air, publisher 505 Games has rolled out a small update for the otherwise polished port. On Twitter, 505 Games Support let players know thatDeath Stranding’s Quick Resume bughas been resolved. Prior to the fix, some players using the feature were running into trouble saving their progress in the game.

Death Stranding Xbox Quick Resume Bug Has Been Fixed
It’s become quite rare for a game to release with so few bugs, especially for a port of a five-year-old game coming to a completely different console for the first time from a studio that had yet to release a game for said console. Such a feat is a testament to Kojima Productions and its QA and testing teams. Some Kojima fans have been wondering whether this sudden move to bringDeath Strandingto Xbox was one meant to get its community up to date with the first game before Kojima potentially announcesamultiplatform release forDeath Stranding 2. While this is certainly possible, others simply see it as the expiration of whatever exclusivity deal PlayStation had in place forDeath Stranding.
Death Strandingis currently available for Xbox users to nab for 50% off, though it’s unclear when the game return to its $40 price tag. With theGame Awards right around the corner, Kojima might have some more news in store forDeath Strandingfans who have eagerly been awaiting the game’s sequel since its reveal two years ago.
