Death Stranding Director's Cut has been released on Apple devices

Death Stranding Director's Cut was supposed to be released on Apple devices on 31 January. However, it happened one day earlier, so here's how the game works on new devices.

Here's What We Know

Death Stranding Director's Cut is available on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad Air and iPad Pro with M1 processor, as well as on Mac with M1 processor. The price is $20. The game is also available on all devices at once. So if you buy DS on a Mac, you can pick up where you left off on an iPad, as the project supports cross-saving. The main thing is to have the same Apple ID everywhere. At the same time, the game still supports PlayStation and Xbox gamepads.

And now let's talk about optimisation, because it's not so good. On the iPhone 15 Pro, the game runs at 720p, but is unable to always maintain a stable 30 fps, and frame loss is felt even in cut scenes.

On an iPad Pro with an M1 processor, the situation is much better. The game runs at 1080p, and frame loss usually occurs only in cut scenes, so it's not as critical. However, there are no Mac tests on YouTube yet, but if the game works fine on the iPad, then the situation is unlikely to be worse on the Mac.
