Here is our guide on how to find all of the Death Stranding Memory Chip Locations. We have divided the list by region.
Memory chips are the primary collectible in Death Stranding. There are a total of 56 memory chips to collect. To upload and access your data, you can contribute memory chips to delivery stations all across the game world. You will receive the trophy or accomplishment “A Thirst for Knowledge” if you restore your first memory chip, and the trophy or achievement “Fount of Knowledge” if you restore all 56 memory chips. Most memory chips can be found while exploring the world, but some require special conditions to spawn, and others are simply difficult to locate.
Death Stranding Memory Chips
Memory chips are little, shimmering items that can be identified by their particular shine. In-world and on the map, a glowing blue memory chip indicator will also indicate their whereabouts. Memory chips will only appear as an icon on the map if they have been marked by other players. If you come across one that isn’t marked on the map, please do your fellow porters a favour and mark it.
A list of all memory chip locations in Death Stranding may be seen below. Scroll down to the lists below this table for a breakdown of memory chips by general region, and utilise the table below for a more detailed look at location and needs. You don’t have to be concerned if you miss a memory chip before going on to the next location. None of the memory chips become unavailable or impossible to collect at any time, so you’ll get an opportunity to collect them all eventually. Here is a list of all the memory chip locations in Death Stranding.
There are nine Memory Chips in the Eastern Region, which is mostly explored in the prologue and first two episodes of the game. Because this map is just about a fifth of the size of the Central Region’s, we can easily see specific pinned Memory Chip positions.

Since the Death Stranding Central Region’s enormous size and scope, it’s preferable to divide its Memory Chip Locations list in two.
