A lot of discussion has been had about Sony letting their first party titles come to PC with the recent announcement of God of War making its way to the platform. It’s interesting to see the platform holder loosening up on games coming to the platform, even if years later, but one title before that was Death Stranding. That title came to PC at a pretty quick turnaround, and now is even part of GeForce Now. However, it seems if you were hoping to play that on you Xbox, it may not be possible after all.
It was revealed recently that Xbox users could potentially stream PC games via the Edge Web Browser with GeForce Now due to a recent update. However, as noted by The Verge’s Tom Warren below, an interesting omission is there. Despite Death Stranding being on the service, it does not show up at all on the search list via Xbox consoles.
It’s worth noting that the PC version is published by 505 Games and not Sony, but Death Stranding still remains a Sony property despite that. No official comment has been made by any parties involved, so whether this is a glitch or there is a contract that would specifically block the game from being streamed via a competitor’s console is unclear. However, it is worth noting that some users have been able to get it to work in other regions, such as Russia, meaning it could just be the former and things will be fixed in time. We’ll keep you updated.
the weirdest part is that Sony doesn't publish Death Stranding on PC, only on console. That might not matter, though. If there's an agreement somewhere about cloud / console streaming exclusivity, then this could be why. I've asked Nvidia to comment
