Mum’s the word on sales for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, especially in the wake of the PC version’s launch (which outperformed the original by a large margin on Steam). However, Alinea Analytics estimates 425,000 sales on Steam thus far, apparently bringing total sales for the action-adventure title to just over two million. Its last report indicated around 1.4 million copies sold on PS5 in about eight days.
Considering both platforms, Death Stranding 2 has potentially generated about $147 million in revenue since launch. The analyst firm also believes that the PC version’s release resulted in a significant spike in PS5 sales. Compared to previous discounts, the latter apparently jumped by 12,500 copies sold daily, peaking at 12,800.
While one could attribute this to marketing for the PC version driving more people to check it out on console, it also didn’t hurt that a new update went live for both platforms. It added new live-action cutscenes, items and an even tougher difficulty, “To The Wilder.” There’s also boss rematches and support for 21:9 ultrawide screens.
Whether or not that’s enough to spur more PS5 owners to jump in, the addition of more features certainly makes it a more attractive proposition. The lack of other major PS5 titles also likely helped (especially with Saros still more than a month away).
