If you are unable to progress, press Escape or Start to navigate to the System menu and select Load Latest Saved Data. If this does not resolve the issue, try loading a previous save file.
DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH creates automatic and checkpoint saves at key interactions and events in the playthrough. Please note that, automatic and checkpoint saves are updated as you progress. If your current save slot becomes stuck in an unplayable state, you can return to an earlier save instead of restarting the game entirely.
