The player features a vibrant translucent orange chassis, allowing users to watch the CD spin during playback. The cover includes a dedicated slot for displaying album art; the device comes with two unique prints based on the Death Stranding 2 universe. The back panel includes mounting holes for wall installation, turning the player into both a functional gadget and a piece of decor.

- Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless headphone connectivity.
- 3.5mm jack for traditional wired playback.
- 1,800 mAh battery providing up to 8 hours of continuous playback.
- USB-C charging port.
- LED Nixie Tube indicators for track and system status.
Device Dimensions
| Parameter | Value |
| Supported Disc Diameters | 12 cm and 8 cm |
| Dimensions | 160 mm x 140 mm x 26 mm |
| Weight | 300 g |
Release Date and Pricing
The collector’s edition is priced at $160. The player is currently available via the km5 online store and their physical location in the Shibuya district (Tokyo, Shibuya Parco mall).
Given the limited production run, this accessory is primarily a souvenir for fans of Hideo Kojima’s work.

Nevertheless, for enthusiasts and fans of the Death Stranding franchise, this player serves as a unique designer artifact.
