Is the Director's Cut on PS5 Worth It Compared to the PS4 Version?

-

I’m currently playing Death Stranding on PS4, and I’m wondering how much of an upgrade the Director’s Cut on PS5 really is. I’ve heard that there are improvements in terms of quality of life features and performance, but I’m up to chapter 6 right now. Should I restart my journey in the Director’s Cut, or can I carry over my progress? This is my first post, so apologies if I’m not doing it right!

If you can play the PS5 version, you should definitely go for it! The Director’s Cut includes a ton of quality of life improvements, especially regarding weapons and tools. Also, your save data can transfer easily, meaning you won’t have to start from scratch if you’re already halfway through.

Thanks for the info! I was worried about losing my progress. It’s good to hear the transition isn’t too painful!

The PS5 version has a 60FPS framerate, which makes a huge difference in gameplay. It’s definitely an upgrade and is worth checking out if you have access to it!
