The failure of Next Death on PC seems to be a bit of a stronger possibility now, as a result of previous rumors, and even an announcement long ago ((more details on this later) - It seems that references to the game as exclusive for PS4 have been removed from the official PlayStation sites.
This observation was made by a resident of the ResetEra forum (vestan) who noted that, on the Australian PlayStation site, Death Stranding was no longer on the PS4 exclusive games list, although it was before (apparently this was included until the end). at least May).
In fact, it has also disappeared from the British site and other official European PlayStation sites. It seems that the game has been removed in all areas.
So unless it's a bug, the move would seem to indicate that Death Stranding isn't exclusive to the PS4, so it could happen on PC (as we've heard before, it's not not coming to Xbox).
This confirms a number of previous rumors, including speculation of the guy correctly stating the release date of Death Stranding on PS4 (November 8), claiming that it would be exclusive to PlayStation, but only for a specified period before hitting the PC. You've mentioned a six-month or one-year exclusivity period, though these are just riddles.

Other indications are that Death Stranding will be coming on PC, including the fact that in the official trailer where the PS4 cover was shown, it did not carry the "PS Only" label that had adorned Old PlayStation exclusives.
Of course, none of this is concrete proof, although we must remember that the first announcement made by Sony's press, long ago in 2015, indicated that the game would arrive on the PC after the PS4. But that was a long time ago, and there is no guarantee that the situation has not changed since then.
However, if you put all of this together, you can surely look forward to a PC version of Death Stranding to come, even if it has been weirdly quiet. Another point to note is that Gamescom is imminent, in the presence of Hideo Kojima to give us an exclusive new look at the game, and perhaps an exclusive reveal of the PC version?
Who knows, but it's certainly not beyond the means. If a PC version is announced, the next question will be: Is it an Epic Games exclusive store? Because most online discussions seem convinced, this will be the case.
