Try downloading the original & pause it at 1%, then buy it from the store for the discount...
(After Director's Cut releases it might be a work around)

Am I able to export my game save from DEATH STRANDING to DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT?
Yes, you will be able to export your save game files to DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT. Before you start exporting your files, please ensure you have downloaded DEATH STRANDING’s 1.07 patch.

Important: We recommend that you do not delete your base game install until you have successfully imported the converted save into DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT.

To export your save data, please follow the instructions below:

Launch DEATH STRANDING version 1.07 or later on your PC with internet connection.
Select "Load Game" on the title screen of DEATH STRANDING and start the game from the save data you wish to export to DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT.
Open Cuff Links in front of a Delivery Terminal in a facility
Select "SYSTEM" → "Export Save Data" (*1)
Details about exporting saved data will be displayed. Check the information and select "OK".
At this point, saved data of the running DEATH STRANDING will be exported and saved to the local storage.
Launch DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT on your PC. (*2)
Select "Load Game (Death Stranding Save Data)" on the title screen of DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT
You now can play the game from DEATH STRANDING saved data stored in local storage. Also, immediately after the game starts, a new save data of DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT will be created.

(*1) In order to select "Export Save Data" on Cuff Links in DEATH STRANDING, the following conditions must be met.
・Open Cuff Links in front of a Delivery Terminal in a facility.
・Any "Orders for Sam" MUST NOT be in progress. If you have "Orders for Sam" which are in progress, please complete them all before selecting "Export Save Data".

(*2) To load save data which was exported from DEATH STRANDING, you need to launch DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT with the same account used to export DEATH STRANDING save data.

DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT will not overwrite DEATH STRANDING, but please be sure that if you are upgrading your save files from DEATH STRANDING to Director's Cut, you will not be able to continue playing with the save file on DEATH STRANDING.

So we will get to keep the original Death Stranding from 2020 and the Director's Cut will be an entirely new entry in the Steam Library regardless of whether you choose to upgrade with a discount from owning the original, or purchasing full price?

Yes, separate games entirely.

I already own DEATH STRANDING on PC. How does the upgrade to DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT work?

To receive the upgrade for DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT you must be logged in with the same account you purchased DEATH STRANDING with and already have it installed on your PC. When you go through to purchase the game from the PC storefront, you will be presented with the upgrade price. If you do not have DEATH STRANDING installed then you will be presented with the full price.

My game is not installed and I was able to purchase the upgrade only. Installing it right now to see what happens.

How did it go? Did it work?

The directors cut is a separate game, separate download, separate library listing, separate store page. TO get the "upgrade" on Steam you just need to own the original on Steam, it doesn't need to be installed. However if you want to transfer your save, you have to do that through the old game.

So if you have bought it and don't want to import your saves you can uninstall the old version?

It's considered a separate game. This original game is called "DEATH STRANDING" while the newer version is called "DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT" in your Steam library.

Just wanted to make sure. Before I remove old version as it's a hefty download to do all over.
