If you’ve already played Death Stranding on PS4, then you might not want to pay out full price for the luxury of playing the game all over again. Luckily, Sony has you covered. PS4 owners of Death Stranding – physical or digital – can upgrade their game for a nominal fee of £5 in the UK, and equivalents in other territories.
Death Stranding Director’s Cut is finally available, bringing the definitive Hideo Kojima experience to players everywhere. This game is every bit the cinematic experience it was on the PS4, but now with full 60FPS modes on PS5, giving the post-apocalyptic United States of America a brand new vibe.

If you have a physical version of Death Stranding, you will also require a PS5 with a physical disc drive – this might seem obvious, but people get tripped up more often than you’d think. Although most games are digital these days, physical games still have their use cases – especially since a pre-owned copy of Death Stranding and the upgrade price is often much cheaper than buying the game at full price currently.

Death Stranding PS4 To PS5 Physical Upgrade Steps
In this guide we’re breaking down how exactly you can upgrade Death Stranding PS4 version to the PS5 Director’s Cut version with either a digital or physical copy of the game. The Director’s Cut is a significant visual step up, and also adds a suite of new content, so even if you’ve already put many hours into the game, this affordable upgrade might be a good excuse to get back in.
The first available option should be a store listing for a Death Stranding upgrade. Select this. When the Death Stranding icon appears on the menu, go to the “…” ellipsis menu to see more options.
Having to keep the PS4 version of the game in the disc drive is a minor frustration, especially since both the PS5 and PS4 icons are likely to appear on your dashboard, but it’s a simple way to get the latest experience.
Once this has been purchased, you will have the license to play a digital copy of Death Stranding Director’s Cut as long as the physical PS4 version is inserted into the disc drive. Purchase this from the store – £5 in the UK, and equivalents in other territories.
