Death Stranding 2: How to claim the pre-order bonuses

Hideo Kojima’s highly anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, is finally here—and for players who pre-ordered the game, there’s more than just an epic narrative waiting. Sony and Kojima Productions are offering several exclusive in-game items as part of the pre-order bonus, including skeleton upgrades, a fun hologram, and more. But how exactly can players access these perks? Here's a step-by-step guide.

What do you get with a pre-order?
Gamers who pre-ordered Death Stranding 2, regardless of edition (Standard, Digital Deluxe, or Collector’s), are entitled to several digital goodies. These include:

• Battle Skeleton: Silver (Lv1–Lv3)
• Boost Skeleton: Silver (Lv1–Lv3)
• Bokka Skeleton: Silver (Lv1–Lv3)
• Custom Hologram: Quokka (Early Unlock)

These upgrades enhance combat, mobility, and inventory capacity - giving you a significant head start as you venture across treacherous landscapes.


How to redeem the pre-order bonuses
For digital pre-orders, the bonus content is automatically downloaded alongside the game. There’s no need to redeem a code, just launch the game and begin your journey. The items will become available as you progress through key missions.

If you purchased a physical copy, look inside the game case for a printed 12-digit code. You’ll need to:

• Go to the PlayStation Store on your PS5.
• Navigate to the “Redeem Code” option.
• Enter the code carefully and confirm.

Once successfully redeemed, the content will download and be added to your in-game inventory.



When do the items unlock?
The pre-order items aren’t available immediately after launch. Players must progress through the story to unlock them:

• The Custom Hologram: Quokka becomes usable after unlocking the Structure Customization feature.
• The Silver Skeleton upgrades are unlocked gradually during key story moments, such as connecting the Chiral Network at new bases across Mexico and Australia.

After reaching these milestones, players can fabricate the items using in-game materials like Resins and Metals.

In some cases, the pre-order code may be printed on the receipt or emailed separately - so don’t discard any packaging or forget to check your inbox.

The pre-order bonuses in Death Stranding 2 are more than just visual add-ons, they provide real gameplay advantages. From enhanced skeleton suits that improve combat and movement to the fun Quokka hologram for custom structures, these items can be useful as you progress.

Remember to complete key missions to unlock fabrication options, and ensure you have enough materials like Chiral Crystals and Resins. If you purchased a physical copy, don’t forget to redeem your code - digital players should find their bonuses auto-unlocked.

These early rewards offer a handy edge in the game’s challenging world, helping you navigate the journey ahead with a bit more power - and personality.
