Overview

• Konami announced via the official Metal Gear social account that Fox Hunt will not support cross-play between PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam.
• The new multiplayer mode has been delayed from Metal Gear Solid Delta’s August 26 release to a free post-launch update scheduled for fall 2025.
• Directed by veteran designer Yu Sahara, Fox Hunt emphasizes camouflage-based stealth objectives rather than traditional team deathmatch.
• Industry observers warn that splitting player bases by platform could shrink matchmaking pools and shorten the mode’s lifespan.
• Early replies to Konami’s announcement on social media have been largely negative, reflecting modern expectations that cross-play is standard.
