DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH
Rookie Porter SSS Support Campaign

DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, which released on June 26th 2025, has been added to the roster of Game Trials on PlayStation Plus Premium.

  • Play the 5-hour full game trial on PlayStation Store here. 
  • Learn more about PlayStation Plus here.

To mark the occasion, we are running a limited-time social media campaign to connect with and support Rookie Porters. Participants will be entered into a draw to win an original T-shirt. 

Connect with players around the world to provide support for Rookie Porters via the Social Strand System

*Social Strand System: Bridges and ladders placed by other players, cargo dropped by accident or left on purpose for you...these are things that will help the players get connected and aid their journey as they continue through the world of DEATH STRANDING. The Social Strand System is a game mechanic that is original to DEATH STRANDING, in which traces of your gameplay are visible to other players, allowing players to link together and appreciate each other's contributions and exchanges.

The following equipment is particularly useful for supporting and connecting with Rookie Porters:

Useful tips: 

  • BRIDGE LINK 
    BRIDGE LINKS is a system in which you can view a list of other players you've interacted with, along with their details. Signing a "Strand Contract" will further strengthen your connection with them and make it easier for the structures built by specific players to appear. Access the BRIDGE LINKS system through the Social Strand System (SSS) on your Ring Terminal.
