Death Stranding has one true, canonical ending, but features multiple "fakeout" endings and game-over screens with credits that can make it seem like there are several, with the main story culminating in a significant choice between two outcomes that lead to the actual conclusion. Players often experience several credit rolls before the true ending, which unfolds over several hours of gameplay and cutscenes.
After defeating Higgs and learning that Amelie is an Extinction Entity (more on that later) Sam is sucked inside a supercell storm vortex and deposited in Vietnam (this being Clifford Unger's Beach/afterlife, built from the shared Beaches of those who died en masse in war).
Death Stranding 2 does not have a secret ending, but it does have a short post-credits scene you might have missed!

An Xbox warning symbol (⚠️) usually means you lack the license to play a game, often because a Game Pass subscription ended, a game disc isn't in the drive (for physical games), or there's a temporary glitch; a full console restart often fixes it, but it can also signal network issues or an old update bug, so check your subscription, restart the console, and ensure your internet is stable.

Amelie was born on the Beach. Or rather, her physical body—her Ha—that was born into this world, while her spiritual essence—her Ka—was born on the Beach. Medically speaking, they weren't sure what to call it.
Red BT. These BTs are particularly dangerous due to the fact that they can only be defeated using chiral bullets or by severing their umbilical cord; bola guns, strands, and hematic grenades are completely ineffective against them.

Corpse of a MULE, terrorist, or other human. If left unattended, it will necrotize and turn into a BT. To prevent this from happening, cremate the corpse before it's too late.

You can still easily repair it. As most of you know, the RRoD is a sign displayed by the 360's "Ring of Light" when there is a general hardware failure.

Bridget was assigned male at birth, one of twin brothers named and raised by her wealthy parents as a girl in a British village.

Throughout Sam's journey, BB-28 starts to become increasingly attached to Sam, who eventually begins to affectionately refer to the infant as "Lou" (short for Louise) – the name he and his late wife Lucy were going to give their unborn daughter.

Other frequently cited top games include Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption 2, and titles from The Legend of Zelda series.
