Death Stranding Director's Cut, Future Hideo Kojima Games Coming To macOS

This announcement signifies Apple's growing commitment to AAA games after years of relative disinterest.

Death Stranding is the first independent release from Kojima Productions.

During Apple's WWDC 2023 keynote presentation, renowned game designer Hideo Kojima made an exciting announcement: Death Stranding Director's Cut will be coming to Mac later this year. This news marks a significant development for Apple's gaming landscape, as Kojima Productions plans to expand its support for Apple platforms in the future. Appearing on Apple's digital set, Kojima expressed his long-standing admiration for Apple products and shared his enthusiasm for bringing his team's best work to the Mac. He stated, "I have been a dedicated Apple fan since I purchased my first Mac in 1994. It has always been a dream of mine to see our games come to life on Apple platforms."

The support for Mac will begin with the launch of Death Stranding Director's Cut, a comprehensive edition of the immersive package-delivery game set in a mysterious and atmospheric world. Kojima assured fans that this is just the start, as they are actively working to bring their future titles to Apple's machines.

Apple's growing commitment to AAA games is evident in recent developments. Last year, Apple announced the gaming-focused Metal 3 API and showcased the arrival of acclaimed titles like Capcom's Resident Evil Village and Hello Games' expansive No Man's Sky on Macs.

No Man's Sky, a popular space exploration simulator, faced a few delays but was successfully released on Macs last week, delighting gaming enthusiasts.

Kojima's announcement was just one highlight of Apple's action-packed WWDC keynote. The event also featured updates to the Mac lineup, detailed insights into the upcoming versions of iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and macOS, and the highly anticipated introduction of the Apple Vision Pro—a long-rumoured augmented reality headset priced at $3,499. This comprehensive event showcased Apple's dedication to pushing boundaries and offering exciting experiences to its users.
