Santa hats are popping up in Death Stranding

The Bridges Christmas Special

Recommended Videos

Officially, Death Stranding‘s update 1.08 brings “various performance improvements” to the game, but dig slightly deeper, and you’ll notice something different. Something festive. Santa hats are popping up!

As spotted by redditor ashtinfay, some of the members of the Bridges extended family have begun showing their holiday spirit. Not every character is in the mood – I made a delivery to a Grinch in a late-game area who wasn’t wearing a Santa hat – but if you make the rounds, you’re sure to see someone.

As for Sam, his Santa hat was already available as an unlock before update 1.08, but it’s a surprisingly involved process. To keep this vague, you’ll need to rank up your connection with a pesky prepper. I haven’t done it yet, and I’m dreading it, but if there’s any time to do so, it’s right before the holidays.

What better way to spend Christmas than delivering presents for the UCA.

It looks like the 1.08 patch is the Christmas update [reddit]
