First released back in 2019 as a PlayStation exclusive, Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding remains one of the more unique and niche AAA experiences out there, with the open-world ‘walking simulator’ proving to be a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it type of experience. Even so, in the 7 years since the first game’s arrival, Death Stranding has found a substantial audience, with Kojima Productions now revealing that the franchise has surpassed a total of 28 million players.

Taking to social media to celebrate the franchise’s 7th anniversary, Hideo Kojima revealed that in the “7 years since BB was born” Death Stranding and its sequel have amassed a total of “28 million porters worldwide.”

Of course, 28 million players does not equate to 28 million copies sold, with Kojima Productions themselves making sure to note that this figure “includes all console versions, PC versions, and free access as part of various subscription services.”

While DS2: On the Beach has yet to join any such subscriptions, the original Death Stranding has found its way onto a range of different services including PlayStation Plus, Xbox Game Pass and was even made available for free via the Epic Games Store for a limited time.

In terms of concrete sales, we have relatively little to go on, with the last official figure being announced all the way back in early 2021, when it was revealed that Death Stranding 1 had sold a total of 5 million copies across PS4 and PC.

Regardless, for a series as weird and unconventional as Death Stranding, amassing almost 30 million players in any capacity is an achievement worthy of celebration. It will be interesting to see whether the upcoming Death Stranding Isolations anime manages to bring in new players when it premieres next year.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Death Stranding / On the Beach? Are you one of the 28 million players? Did you purchase the game, or play it for free? Let us know down below.
