Hideo Kojima Appears at WWDC to Promise Support for Apple Platforms

Hideo Kojima made a surprise appearance during Apple's WWDC 2023 keynote to reveal that Death Stranding: Director's Cut is coming to Mac. The Director's Cut is set to come to Mac sometime this year, but we don't have an exact date yet.


Kojima also teased ahead to future Kojima Productions games, saying his studio is "actively working to bring its future titles to Apple platforms".

We don't know exactly what future projects Kojima is referring to with that statement. Currently, Kojima Productions' announced upcoming games include Death Stranding 2 — which is currently only confirmed for PlayStation 5 — and the untitled game the studio is developing for Xbox Game Studios.

Death Stranding originally released as a PlayStation exclusive in 2019 before coming to PC in 2020. The 2021 Director's Cut launched on both PC and PS5. So, it's possible Death Stranding 2 could take a similar path, launching as a PlayStation exclusive before coming to PC and Mac sometime later down the line.

We called Death Stranding: Director's Cut good in our review, saying, "A long list of quality of life improvements certainly makes the PS5 Director’s Cut the most feature-rich and accessible version of Death Stranding."

Elsewhere at Apple's WWDC 2023 keynote, the company announced a new 15-inch MacBook Air, a new Mac Pro with M2 Ultra, and Mac Studio with M2 Ultra support. For more, check out our roundup of the biggest announcements from Apple WWDC 2023.
