Selvom Hideo Kojima ihærdigt forsøger at forklare os præcis hvilken størrelse Death Stranding, så lader det til at være svært for ham. For nylig gav han sig i kast med at forklare spillets multiplayer-komponent, der angiveligvis har til formål at binde spillere sammen.

Sam is just by himself and must survive, he has no special power. The more you play the more you will notice that he isn't the only one in this situation. At launch, there will probably be millions of people who will play and you will be CONNECTED to them USING SOMETHING..."
