In another bizarre twist, the Sony owned Death Stranding looks poised to be added to the PC Game Pass catalogue.

Less than expected
When Death Stranding Director's Cut confirmed its PlayStation 4 to PS5 upgrade path would cost $10, it was sort of assumed the price would carry over to other territories.
