Konami has officially announced the release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the highly anticipated remake of the cult classic. The game will launch on August 28, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Additionally, players who purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition and pre-order the game will receive 48 hours of early access, allowing them to start playing on August 26. There will be two main editions of the game. The Standard Edition includes only the base game, but those who pre-order it will also receive a bonus White Tuxedo Suit for Snake. The Digital Deluxe Edition, on the other hand, offers more content, including the Sneaking DLC Pack and the same bonus White Tuxedo Suit as a pre-order incentive. The early access perk is also exclusive to this deluxe version. This release structure mirrors what Konami has done with other high-profile titles, such as the Silent Hill 2 remake.
Alongside the release date and edition details, Konami has also published the official PC system requirements. Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game leverages cutting-edge visual technology, which demands modern hardware for optimal performance. Both minimum and recommended specs emphasize the need for robust GPUs, at least 16 GB of RAM, and most notably, installation on an SSD is strongly recommended to ensure smoother gameplay and faster load times.
| Component | Minimum Requirments | Recommended Requirments |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 / Windows 11 (64-bit) | Windows 10 / Windows 11 (64-bit) |
| Processor | Intel i5-8600 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | Intel i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics Card | RTX 2060 Super (8GB) | RTX 3080 |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 100 GB Available Space (SSD Recommend) | 100 GB Available Space (SSD Recommend) |
The minimum requirements include a 64-bit version of Windows 10 or 11, an Intel i5-8600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super (8GB) graphics card. DirectX 12 is required, and players should have at least 100 GB of available storage space, with an SSD being highly recommended.
For the recommended experience, Konami suggests using the same operating systems, with an Intel i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 GPU. The storage and DirectX requirements remain the same. These specifications highlight the game’s reliance on modern hardware to support its advanced graphics and expansive environments. The strong emphasis on SSD usage further underlines the developers’ intent to ensure reduced load times and smoother gameplay.
