Death Stranding 2: On The Beach may be heading to PC sooner than expected. A new ESRB rating has appeared online for a Windows PC version, and it has done so without any official word from Kojima Productions. It is a quiet but major leak for one of 2025’s biggest releases.
A surprise Death Stranding 2 rating appears online
Death Stranding 2 has already earned high praise for its story, music, and direction from Hideo Kojima. It builds on the original Death Stranding with more detail and stronger emotional beats. It is also up for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2025, along with six other nominations. Until now, it has only been available on PlayStation 5.

The leak comes from the official ESRB site, which lists an M rating for the PC version. The details match the PS5 release, including notes about the guitar weapon and the robotic samurai. As of now, the page is still live. There has been no official announcement or comment, so it is best to treat this as a strong but unconfirmed hint.
The first Death Stranding launched on PC months after its console release. With this rating already in place, the sequel may arrive on Windows earlier than expected. The Game Awards are only two weeks away, making it a likely place for a reveal if this leak is real.
