Death Stranding 2 Sales Struggle Compared to the Original

The Numbers Are In:

Death Stranding (2019) sold an impressive 6 million copies in its first three months.

In comparison, Death Stranding 2 has moved only 2.8 million copies over the same period.

Despite strong visuals and returning cast members, fans say the sequel’s slower pacing and heavier narrative focus may have impacted its broader appeal.

Still, Kojima’s signature world-building and cinematic direction continue to draw a passionate fanbase.

A bold sequel — but one that hasn’t quite delivered the same impact as its predecessor.
