Overview

• Konami has officially announced that Fox Hunt, the upcoming hide-and-seek multiplayer mode for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, will not support cross-play between PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
• Fox Hunt is scheduled to debut as a free fall 2025 update rather than alongside the game’s August 28 launch.
• The mode incorporates stealth mechanics inspired by 2008’s Metal Gear Online but is presented as an original experience directed by veteran designer Yu Sahara.
• Players and outlets warn that platform segregation could fragment the community, leading to low server populations and shortened multiplayer longevity.
• Konami has not disclosed technical reasons for the lack of cross-play or indicated any plans to revisit the platform separation decision.
