DEATH STRANDING COMMUNITY SHOWCASE - JULY 2024

Spotlighting Porters to applaud their creativity is something we enjoy hugely. As we head into our 5th year since launching DEATH STRANDING onto PC, we want to do more to celebrate our fans! While our #DSPorterSpotlight series might have come to an end in 2023, we're excited to announce our all-new DEATH STRANDING community showcase video series, designed to celebrate the talents of our fans. (And celebrate more of you!)

The response to our first callout was truly incredible! Thank you Porters, for taking part.

Whether you’re a cosplayer, artist, illustrator, or virtual photographer, we want to invite you to get involved in future showcases.

Submit your best work here and who knows, you may just see your creations in one of our future videos: https://505games.com/uploads/

CELEBRATING 4 YEARS OF DEATH STRANDING ON PC

[h3]CELEBRATING 4 YEARS OF DEATH STRANDING ON PC[/h3]

It’s hard to believe that on this day 4 years ago, we welcomed PC Porters into DEATH STRANDING for the very first time. Looking back, 2020 was such an incredibly challenging time for everyone around the world, but we took some comfort in knowing that DEATH STRANDING was connecting people in positive ways, whether it be through the power of the Social Strand System in-game or across our social media channels. It’s been wonderful to see.

Ever since DEATH STRANDING landed on PC, we’ve been overwhelmed by your enthusiasm, passion and creativity for the game. It feels like we say this every year, but we’ve had the best time engaging with you all and we want to keep this momentum going for as long as possible.

On behalf of the whole team at KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS and 505 Games, thank you for your ongoing love and support. It means everything to us!



[h3]TIMELINE OF EVENTS[/h3]

From celebrating our amazing Porters in our #DSPorterSpotlight series, to launching DEATH STRANDING onto more platforms, we’ve had quite an eventful 12 months. If you’re new around here, check out what we’ve been up to over the years: https://505.games/DSPCTimeline

[h3]THE POWER OF CONNECTIONS[/h3]

Back in 2022, we launched DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT onto PC, welcoming more Porters to this vibrant and healthy community. Since then, you’ve delivered on a scale that we never imagined! Take a look at these impressive stats from in-game, highlighting your amazing efforts and contributions over the years:



[h3]KEEP ON KEEPING ON[/h3]

Let’s wrap up by once again saying thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your ongoing love for DEATH STRANDING. We don’t take your support for granted and we talk frequently behind the scenes about how special our Porters are. Every positive connection you make with us and one another is what makes this community so great. Please, don’t ever change!

As we wrap up another year of reflection, we invite you to share your memories with us across social using #4YearsDSPC. We’ll share our favourite responses on X over the next couple of days.

Thank you, Porters.

Keep on keeping on!

Hi Porters!

As you know, to celebrate 16 million active users on DEATH STRANDING, we have launched a special Photo Mode campaign that will run for a year (December 2023 to November 2024).

To ensure as many Porters as possible can get involved, we're also running this event here on Steam!

Each month, entries will be accepted according to the theme of each month, and the 10 best photos will be selected. Out of those selected 10, KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS staff will vote for one “Photo of the Month” winner.

The 12 photos of the monthly winners will be used as the cover for each month on the 2025 KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS calendar. This calendar will be sent to the Photo of the Month winners as a prize.
