Hideo Kojima is casually flexing on NASA by sharing a graphic showing the cumulative Sams in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach have travelled further than the Artemis 2 Lunar Flyby Mission did in the same 10-day period after the PC version launched.
In a graphic shared onto Hideo Kojima's Instagram account, titled "Sams vs Artemis 2," records taken "from a 10 day period after the PC version launch" are shown. Between April 1 and April 10, 2026, the Artemis 2 mission's Orion spacecraft had travelled 700,237 miles, but in that same period, Death Stranding 2 players had travelled 969,703 miles as Sam on-foot during in-game delivery missions.
