You can wear the Death Stranding 2 watch, but it costs three PS5s

DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH | Pre-Order Trailer

If Neil’s watch stood out to you in the Death Stranding 2: On the Beach trailer, great news: you can buy that exact model for yourself. The only downside is that it will run you the same price as three PS5s, or two PS5 Pros and a few games. In other words, the watch is $1,500 (but could cost more).

The watch is the American classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition. It’s not yet available for purchase (it releases June 26, 2025), but you can sign up to be notified when it goes on sale. It uses automatic timekeeping and measures 36mm x 48mm, is water resistant up to 50 meters, and has an 80-hour power reserve.

That said, if you’re interested, act fast. Only 2,000 of these watches will be made, and despite the price, they’re likely to sell out quickly.

From an aesthetic standpoint, the Boulton Death Stranding 2 LE is sleek, slim, and understated. The watch is mostly black, with a few silver accents for the hour markers and a bold orange second hand that fits the Death Stranding color scheme.

It has a three-hand movement but no date function. The watch is simple, breaking down timekeeping to its most bare form. The strap is also made of titanium with a butterfly buckle.

The watch is currently listed at 1,380 GBP. If that translates to the global price, then the estimate of $1,500 might actually be a bit too low — at the present moment, 1,380 GBP equates to roughly $1,780.

Death Stranding 2 releases June 26 for PlayStation 5, the same date as the watch. Everything we’ve seen of the game so far promises a markedly Kojima-like experience, including an enemy with a laser-beam-firing guitar.

Preorders for Death Stranding 2 will go live on March 17, with both a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Edition for interested fans.

If you love 2D platformers, you can’t miss Bionic Bay
A man jumps through electrified platforms in Bionic Bay.

I don't envy anyone trying to make a great 2D puzzle platformer in 2025. It's a very crowded genre, and sometimes it can feel like there aren't many more ways to spin it into something new. Games like Neva and Planet of Lana are gorgeous, but neither breaks new gameplay ground. It's a high ceiling to reach if you're looking to do something new, but Bionic Bay gets it done in impressive fashion.

At a glance, the new game from publisher Kepler Interactive checks a lot of boxes. It's a moody tone piece that looks quite a bit like Limbo. The adventure takes players through a gantlet of 2D levels steeped in biomechanical mystery. Levels are creepy and full of well-placed traps that lead to countless deaths. Where Bionic Bay sets itself apart from dozens of games with that description, though, is a an ingenious item swapping puzzle hook and a speedier pace that's usually reserved for speed-focused action games. Those two pieces are enough to make it one of the tightest games of its kind I've played so far in the 2020s.

The Nintendo Switch 2’s launch game lineup is more exciting than you think

The Nintendo Switch 2 was fully unveiled April 2, giving us slew of console details and new game announcements. One of the biggest surprises is that it'll get a brand new 3D Donkey Kong game as one of its first big games. Though rumors of the game's existence had been floating around for years, its confirmation -- especially over that of a heavily predicted Mario game -- has made for a strange and incredibly welcome change of pace.

If it wasn't already clear, I think this switch up rules.
