Death Stranding 2 Collector's Edition Is In Stock Ahead Of Tomorrow's Launch

PlayStation Direct also has an exclusive Limited Edition Controller that's up for grabs ahead of its June 26 release

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is finally (almost) here. The PS5-exclusive sequel to Kojima Productions' 2019 hit officially releases June 26, but early access starts tonight for the Digital Deluxe Edition. Fans who already preordered the Collector's Edition also get 48-hour early access starting June 24. If the glowing Death Stranding 2 reviews have you considering upgrading from the standard $70 physical edition to the PlayStation Direct-exclusive edition with collectibles, you're in luck: Death Stranding 2's Collector's Edition is in stock as of June 23.

And if you don't want to drop $230 on the Collector's Edition, there's a more affordable PlayStation collectible up for grabs that also commemorates the game's launch: the Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition DualSense Controller. Also exclusive to PS Direct, the limited-edition DualSense is in stock for $85 and releases alongside the standard edition. Meanwhile, Amazon is offering a 20% discount on The Art of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, a 256-page hardcover book with concept art that releases November 11.

PlayStation Direct offers free shipping on all orders and both the Collector's Edition and DualSense are currently listed as "launch window delivery," which means they will arrive within one to three business days after launch.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach's Collector's Edition is headlined by a 15-inch statue of Magellan Man. Along with the detailed statue of one of the major characters in the sequel, you'll get a 3-inch Dollman Figurine with a keychain loop, a trio of art cards, and a letter with a message from Hideo Kojima that presumably thanks you for spending $230 on Death Stranding 2. All of the collectibles listed below are packaged inside what looks like a pretty cool Collector's Box.
