Death Stranding’s multiplayer has, like much of the game itself, remained much of a mystery up until the game’s release.
Though Death Stranding is not an online only game, this is a single player adventure with an emphasis on online connectivity, which can populate the world with structures built by other players and cargo they failed to deliver.
There’s no direct co-operative or competitive multiplayer in Death Stranding, and though it’s asymmetric and largely automatic, but well worth learning how it works to benefit both yourself and – in keeping with the themes of the game – other players.
