Hideo Kojima posts a cryptic message about ‘enhancing’ one thing and an terrible lot of persons are satisfied it means Demise Stranding 2 for PC can be introduced later this week

Now and again I overlook that Demise Stranding 2 is not on PC, and by “from time to time” I imply each time I give it some thought. That is not a slight towards Demise Stranding 2, it is simply sort of an uncommon scenario lately as a result of, effectively, why is not Demise Stranding 2 on PC? As former Sony honcho Shuhei Yoshida stated in 2025, releasing PlayStation video games on PC is “nearly like printing cash.”

Anyway, it seems like possibly, presumably, Demise Stranding 2 is perhaps headed our method quickly. And never simply due to the ‘all issues of their time’ issue: Hideo Kojima could also be subtly hinting at a looming launch.

“Did not have a lot time right this moment for enhancing,” Kojima posted on his English-language X account (by way of GamesRadar). The picture is accompanied by a photograph of a PC monitor displaying the phrases “A Hideo Kojima recreation,” which admittedly may very well be something—Kojima Productions remains to be engaged on OD, PhysInt, and an unnamed recreation being made in partnership with Niantic—however beneath that may be a Demise Stranding calendar for 2026.

The timing is notable. The unique Demise Stranding launched on the PlayStation 4 in November 2019, after which got here to PC in July 2020—an eight month stretch. Demise Stranding 2 hit the PlayStation 5 in July 2025, eight months after which comes March 2026, which is now just some weeks away.

There’s additionally the truth that an age score for a PC model of Demise Stranding 2 popped its head up, briefly, on the ESRB web site in November 2025. Whoops!

And, in case you’d forgotten (or simply hadn’t heard), a State of Play showcase is going on on February 12—this coming Thursday. That is a reasonably stable alternative to inform the world that one in all your massive exclusives is lastly making the PC transfer, particularly if it is coming as a part of a (purely hypothetical at this stage) ‘Director’s Minimize’ launch.

All of that is solely speculative, however a superb variety of responses to the message appear fairly assured {that a} PC announcement is assured—or are no less than very hopeful it is incoming. Myself, I would not go so far as to specific any form of certainty however I do assume it is a fairly good guess. For the report, although, I do not assume this has something to do with Kojima’s last-minute resolution to drag out of his GDC keynote—it isn’t as if he awoke final Wednesday and determined, ‘Time for the PC port!’

Anyway, we could or could not get the inside track on the upcoming State of Play, nevertheless it’s possible sufficient to be price watching simply in case (plus there’ll in all probability be different cool issues revealed too). It begins at 2 pm PT/5 pm ET, on YouTube and Twitch.
