Overview

• The remake is out now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with Standard, Tactical (physical with Sneaking DLC voucher), Digital Deluxe with early access, and higher-tier Collector’s options.
• Early coverage lauds the graphical overhaul and near shot-for-shot faithfulness, while critiques focus on small, segmented levels and mechanics that feel old-fashioned compared with modern remakes.
• Modern touches include an over-the-shoulder aiming view, camera options, and real-time shortcuts for healing and changing camouflage, and David Hayter reprises Snake’s English voice.
• Konami confirmed a post-launch competitive mode called Fox Hunt that will not support cross-play.
• On PC, preloads are about 76GB and expand to nearly 100GB once installed, with console sizes in a similar range.
