Death Stranding 2 Update 1.014 Hits the Beach
Following the release of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach on PC, which also saw the PS5 version get a content drop that added various new features and content, Kojima Productions has now released a new game update today, April 7.
PS5 gamers will see this download as Death Stranding 2 update 1.014 (complete version 1.014.000), and given we just received a feature-packed update last month, don’t expect much from this outside of fixes.
