If you've played Death Stranding you'll notice that Monster Energy is featured quite heavily in Hideo Kojima's game, and it turns out that this may have resulted in a stock price jump for the beverage, as reported by USgamer.
This was first pointed out on Reddit, and as shared by USgamer, Yahoo Finance data confirms that last Friday (Death Stranding's launch date) was the highest close for Monster in over a month.
The price has since dipped, and while it's not certain that Hideo Kojima's anticipated game caused the spike, it's certainly very possible that the high of $58.16 correlated with the launch of the game, with players chugging on the drink to give Norman Reedus' character Sam some extra stamina.
