Is Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater cross-platform?
Is Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater cross-platform?
In a worrying move, Konami has yet to make any statements about whether or not Metal Gear Solid Delta will have cross-platform support as of the time of this writing. All we know is that it is indeed coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC and that there will be a new online mode. While the situation is far different now, the last Metal Gear game released, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, also did not have crossplay support back in 2015. While not unheard of, it was still odd even back then to not include it.

Being a remake and developed by a different team a decade later, I hope that cross-platform play is included but can't say with certainty it will be. I suspect we will learn the truth once we know for sure when the online mode will launch.
When will Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater's online mode launch?
Just as important as knowing whether the game will be cross-platform is knowing when the online mode will launch. The base game will be out on August 28, but according to the official Konami website, Fox Hunt is currently scheduled for 'fall 2025.' That timeframe could theoretically be any time between September and November so I will keep my ears open and update you as soon as we get a firm launch date.

We'll only be covering games that have been officially confirmed for release, many of which already have solid release dates locked in. In terms of what games we've chosen to include here, these are either only coming to PS5, or are console exclusives, meaning they are also set to launch on PC. We'll indicate where each game sits with regard to these release platforms as we go. Upcoming PS5 exclusives There are currently quite a few major PS5 exclusives planned and confirmed for future release on the PlayStation 5 console. We've listed them below, alongside their release dates where available. In terms of what games we've chosen to include here, these are either only coming to PS5, or are console exclusives; the latter meaning they are also set to launch on PC. We'll make that clear with each entry below too so you have a clear picture of what's what. Sword of the Sea - August 19, 2025 Lost Soul Aside - August 29, 2025 Ghost of Yotei - October 2, 2025 Ballad of Antara - TBC 2025 Where Winds Meet - TBC 2025 Phantom Blade 0 - TBC Saros - 2026 Marvel's Wolverine - TBC Fairgame$ - TBC Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet - TBC Lost Soul Aside Lost Soul Aside is a brand new action RPG that'lll launch on PS5 and PC. You'll traverse landscapes that feel alive: sunlit plains, mysterious ancient ruins, and alternate dimensions that buzz with energy. This world is filled with secrets, monsters, and unpredictable events that keep you interested. Beneath the flashy moves, there's depth for players who love to experiment. You can customize loadouts, chain synergistic combos, and strategize with Arena, Kaser's dragon-like companion. Lost Soul Aside launches August 29, 2025 for PS5 and PC, following a delay. Ghost of Yotei Ghost of Yōtei is the latest game from Sucker Punch, and follows Ghost of Tsushima. Protagonist Atsu's journey takes place in 1603, more than 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima. While we don't know how the two are connected, if at all, expect the same mix of stealth and sword-fighting as you make your way across a gorgeous Feudal Japan setting. So far, we've received two trailers, and it's looking very pretty indeed. Ghost of Yōtei will launch October 2, 2025, exclusively for PS5. Saros Saros was revealed during a State of Play event that aired in February 2025. It's the latest from Housemarque, and is being described as a game that builds upon the third-person action systems showcased in Returnal. A key gameplay distinction between Saros and Returnal is permanent resources and progression making every death valuable. After every death you will face a changed world, but in Saros you will be able to choose and permanently upgrade your loadout from an evolving set of weapons and suit upgrades to 'come back stronger' to overcome the challenges you face on Carcosa. Saros will launch on PS5 in 2026. Ballad of Antara Ballad of Antara is an action-RPG with multiple playable characters. These characters possess the power to traverse the two worlds of normalcy and unimaginable. The devs are calling them 'Emissaries'. Each Emissary has their own unique class, gameplay capabilities, and their own enticing, mysterious stories. So far, we have seen a lengthy trailer, which you can check out as part of this blog post. Ballad of Antara is currently slated for release sometime in 2025. At present, it's only confirmed for PS5. Where Winds Meet Where Winds Meet is an epic Wuxia open-world action-adventure RPG game, that was recently confirmed to be launching on PS5. At first, we only knew about a PC release, but after a State of Play event last May, we know it's coming to PlayStation. For now, it's only got a release window of 2025, so stay tuned for more info on a specific release date. If you'd like to read more about the game, check out the PlayStation blog. Marvel's Wolverine Marvel's Wolverine is coming from the folks over at Insomniac, the team responsible for the Spider-Man PS4 and PS5 games. As such, expectations are very high indeed, and because we've not seen much on it so far, things are still very much up in the air. Only a brief cinematic trailer has been revealed so far, showing Logan sitting at a bar after what looks to have been a very bloody brawl. At present, Wolverine is only slated for a PS5 release. Fairgame$ Fairgame$ is a competitive heist game where you join an underground movement to rob the ultra-rich and rebalance the scales. We've not seen any gameplay yet, nor do we have a release window or release date. What we do know is that it'll launch on PS5 and PC. Phantom Blade Zero Phantom Blade Zero was revealed during a PlayStation Showcase event in 2023. It looks set to blend fast-paced action with cinematic quick-time gameplay. There are epic boss battles, and plenty of parrying as you make your way across a fractured land, looking to seek revenge on those that have mortally wounded you. Phantom Blade Zero has been confirmed to be in development for PS5 and PC, and it currently has no release date. You can check out our hands-on Phantom Blade Zero preview to read what we thought of the upcoming game. Sword of the Sea Sword of the Sea takes place in an abandoned realm where the terrain flows in waves. You'll make use of a traversal vehicle called the Hoversword. The Hoversword controls like a snowboard, skateboard, and hoverboard all in one. Build momentum to achieve great speeds and catch big air as you explore skatepark-like ruins, uncovering an ancient mystery as you go. At present, Sword of the Sea is announced for PS5 and PC, and it'll launch August 19, 2025.. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet was a surprise reveal that closed out The Game Awards 2024. It's the new game from Naughty Dog, and looks to be a sci-fi epic, with a retro-futuristic vibe. We don't know too much about the game yet, except that it's being developed exclusively for PS5 consoles. From the official announcement blog post: "Intergalactic stars our newest protagonist, Jordan A. Mun, a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. In fact, anyone who's flown to it hoping to unravel its mysterious past was never heard from again. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit." At present, we have no release window for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, so we'll mark it down as TBC. You Might Also Like...

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater - everything we know so far
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Metal Gear Solid 3 remake will reintroduce a landmark stealth game series in 4K glory, with all the shine and gleam that comes from a modern remake. Now we've had time to let the announcement trailer marinade a bit, and gawk over the recent gameplay showcase, there are even more reasons to get excited about revisiting one of the most esteemed Metal Gear Solid games ever made. Over twenty years after the release of the original, we expect the remake to recreate a similar experience while boasting more modernized mechanics and visuals. Titled Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and also being referred to as just 'Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater', the information we have regarding the title right now is fairly substantial, making it one of the most anticipated upcoming games. Thanks to a hands-on event at Gamescom last year, we actually got the chance to play the game. Check out our thoughts in our Metal Gear Solid 3 remake preview. Now that the release date has been fully revealed, we know a fair bit about the game. Here's everything we know about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake - Cut to the chase What is it? A remaster of the esteemed Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater When does it come out? August 28, 2025 What can I play it on? PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC Who is making it? Konami Metal Gear Solid 3 remake release date and platforms Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake will launch August 28, 2025. This was revealed during a recent State of Play event. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will come to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Whether or not it'll be available on day one on Xbox Game Pass is also yet to be announced - though news of this could come around, or after, a concrete release date is confirmed. Unfortunately, the game isn't going to receive any last-gen ports, so if you're still rocking older hardware, it might be worth looking to upgrade your setup prior to release if the game is a must-play for you. With how highly praised the original game was, there's a strong chance that once the remake arrives it could fall among not only the best Xbox Series X games, but the best PS5 games too. Metal Gear Solid 3 remake trailers The latest Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater trailer gives an overview of the new online mode. It's called Fox Hunt, and pits players against each other in a deadly game of hide and seek: A trailer for Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake dropped alongside the full release date: Konami dropped a dazzling in-engine look at the game as part of the Xbox Showcase event that aired on June 9, 2024. In it, we see plenty of gameplay, including our first look at The Boss. Check it out below: Before that, there was our first proper look at gameplay. This trailer not only gave us a splendid look at how the game runs and moves, but also showed us some updated shots of iconic parts and areas of the game, from the ruins where Snake finds Sokolov, to the mountaintop trenches, to the swamps with large reptile friends, the rope bridge that houses the climax of the Virtuous mission, and what looks like the location of the boss battle with The Pain. It really does look incredible and looks to be brilliantly brought to life in the Unreal Engine 5. In these short clips, however, we also get a brief look at gameplay with Snake taking cover behind trees to investigate patrolling guards and also eyeing one up to shoot in first-person view. Check it out in all its 4K glory below. Before the above video, we only had one Metal Gear Solid 3 remake trailer in the form of the announcement - and it doesn't give any information away regarding in-game content. Instead, it takes us through an animated rendition of the jungle landscape players of the original Metal Gear Solid 3 may recognize. After following a colony of ants, followed by a bird in flight, and then a large snake and crocodile, we get our first glimpse at Snake. The end of the trailer announces the name Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, but we don't receive anything about platforms or a release date. What we can glean from the trailer though are a bunch of call-backs, nods, and 'easter eggs' which are great fun for existing fans to identify - even if we don't see any in-game action or mechanics. Some specifically good nods are being able to make out the silhouette of the Shagohod in the clouds at the beginning, the parrot almost certainly being The End's companion bird, and the poison dart frog giving a nod to The Fear. Also, as well as the trailer, the official screenshots that have been released make for great viewing too: and importantly seem to indicate that environments and spaces won't be drastically changed, and will get the beautifying treatment while retaining their original layout, style, and features. Metal Gear Solid 3 remake story and setting Since Metal Gear Solid 3 remake is revisiting the original MGS3 game, there are plenty of conclusions we can draw based on what we already know. The majority of the setting of Metal Gear Solid 3 is in a jungle in Russia, during the Cold War, which is echoed through the brief pan we receive in the announcement trailer. The story has been confirmed to remain the same as the original game, so if you've already played the 2004 version, you'll probably know what to expect. But, if you're among the players who are yet to experience what Metal Gear Solid 3 has to offer, and you'd rather now wait for the remake rather than play the original, then the story is still worth brushing up on so you'll be able to experience the high-stakes action without having to learn too much on the spot. MGS3 serves as a prequel to the rest of the saga, and because of this, it lays out the origins of Big Boss, a major character within the series, and walks you through the infiltration of Soviet territory to prevent the construction of a weapon of mass destruction. It becomes your job as 'Naked Snake' to carry out missions (as part of the larger mission at hand) translated through radio messages, boss fights, stealthy espionage action, and to avoid blowing your cover to do what's right. In addition to setting up the series, MGS3 is the first game (despite being a prequel) to stray from the traditional formula of Metal Gear Solid games in terms of its technology, relying more on using the wilderness to your advantage rather than leaning on and defending yourself against high tech. Even though you can use it to your advantage, the wilderness and its ferocious inhabitants are also ready to blow Snake's cover, so you need to stay alert at all times. Metal Gear Solid 3 remake gameplay As mentioned above, the latest in-engine look at the Metal Gear 3 remake also showed off some glimpses of familiar gameplay. We see Snake taking aim in first-person view from long grass, carefully wading through marshes past reptilian beasts, taking cover behind trees and ruins, and also a clear look at the way Snake moves while crouched, walking, climbing, and leaning. We also see a short clip of Snake taking down a guard from behind - the motions are familiar but much more fluid and seamless when compared to the original. Away from what we've seen in that trailer, however, and similarly to the story, we expect the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake gameplay to stick pretty closely to the source material. While the general premise of stealth and combat-heavy interactions is expected to continue, we do expect the newest iteration of the game to feel more polished in comparison to its 2004 counterpart. That said, there could be several mechanics that have been fine-tuned or adapted to make the experience more streamlined and up-to-date. As confirmed in a Tweet posted on the official Metal Gear Solid page, MGS Delta: Snake Eater, is intended to be a 'faithful recreation of the original story and game design, while evolving the gameplay with stunning visuals and a seamless user experience.' Perhaps the game will get similar treatment to the Resident Evil remakes of recent years, with a full overhaul of the camera and mechanics to bring the game into the modern day. The content of the original game was praised for being before its time, so we are keen to see how exactly these are adapted for a more beneficial user experience. Mechanics such as healing were pretty challenging throughout the original and included a lot of in-menu work, but whether or not this will be among the elements being evolved is currently unknown. If there's an aim to make this, in particular, more fluid, then this would be music to the ears of a lot of existing fans, as well as a new audience. While there's still a lot to uncover about how exactly the remake will build upon the foundations set by the original, we aren't going in entirely blind. A new showcase diving into the game's mechanics reveals two ways to play. A legacy mode will allow players to keep classic controls, and a camera view that more closely resembles the original experience. The modern mode offers an over the shoulder third-person shooter feel, matching more modern shooters. Metal Gear Solid 3 remake news Multiplayer mode won't be crossplayKonami has confirmed that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater's multiplayer mode, Fox Hunt, won't support cross-play between console and PC. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is getting a new online modeRevealed during the Konami Press Start livestream on June 12, the publisher describes Fox Hunt as a "completely original online battle mode" that will play differently from 2008's Metal Gear Online. Fox Hunt, which is being directed by series veteran Yu Sahara, takes place in the same world as the main game and will offer "hide and seek" mechanics, mixed with stealth and survival elements. Konami provides new deep-dive into the latest trailerThanks to a new Metal Gear Production Hotline video, you can get some additional info, and a breakdown of the latest trailer. You'll see some details on the game's legacy mode, as well as some reveals on how the team has approached voice acting. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will feature all the original voices As confirmed in a Tweet, all the original voices from the 2004 Metal Gear Solid 3 will be used in the remake. Rather than inviting voice actors back to re-record lines, the audio will be taken from the original game, which will feed into the honest recreation the remake promises to deliver. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater announced as part of Sony's State of Play Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the 2004 Metal Gear Solid 3, was announced as part of Sony's State of Play on May 24, 2023. Although the trailer showcased no in-game content or information regarding the storyline or a release date, it has been confirmed a remake is in the works. Metal Gear Solid 3 remake Hideo Kojima involvement When the official announcement of the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake came, one of the major things that fans were wondering was whether or not Hideo Kojima himself would be involved. Even though the famous game creator is no longer at Konami and has his own game development studio, the intrigue was still strong as to whether he may consult with the remake or give advice in some capacity - it is one of his games after all, and one of the best he has made. However, as IGN reported after speaking to Konami about the remake earlier this summer. IGN asked about whether Kojima or Yoji Shinkawa - another crucial cog in the Metal Gear Solid series - would be involved. A Konami spokesperson responded plainly by saying that: "They are not involved." So there we have it, clear as day, Hideo Kojima is not involved with the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake.

The patch notes for Monster Hunter Wilds update 1.021 have been released The major update adds expanded endgame content, high-difficulty quests, 9-star monsters, weapon changes, and more Game director Yuya Tokuda has also apologized for the game's poor performance and said additional improvements are on the way Capcom has dropped the patch notes for Monster Hunter Wilds' major 1.021 update, alongside a message from the game director responding to concerns surrounding the game's performance. Title Update 1.021 arrives tomorrow August 13 / August 12 at 7.30 PM PT / 03:30 PM BST and as the patch notes confirm, will be approximately 3GB on PS5, 2GB on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and 2GB on Steam, but 6GB with High Resolution Texture Pack installed. Like the Capcom previously announced, the expansion of endgame content originally planned as part of Title Update 3 has been brought forward and will arrive with 1.021, which will include new high-difficulty quests and the appearance of 9-star tempered Monsters in the field at HR 100 or higher. These 9-star monsters include: Rey Dau, Uth Duna, Nu Udra, Jin Dahaad, Gore Magala, Arkveld, Mizutsune, Lagiacrus, Seregios. In addition, regular and tempered versions of Rey Dau and Nu Udra will now appear in the Wounded Hollow at HR 100 or higher, the appearance rate monsters at HR 100 and higher have been adjusted, while the appearance rate of standard monsters has been slightly increased. Alongside the standout features, adjustments for various weapons have been added. Capcom initially planned to adjust five weapon types in this patch but decided to expand the scope for 11 total weapon types. These changes will apply to the likes of Lance, Insect Glaive, Sword and Shield, and Charge Blade, which has had its raw damage for multi-hit attacks while in Power Axe Mode buffed. A new Glowing Stone appraisal item has also been been added as a reward for quests with 9-star monsters and can be transform into an Appraised Talisman with randomly assigned skills. Update 1.021 follows Title Update 2, which addressed the shader compilation issue that had been causing poor performance on PC since the game's launch. Despite this, the game still sits at a "Mostly Negative" score on Steam, which is marginally better than its previous "Overwhelmingly Negative" score. Monster Hunter Wilds director Yuya Tokuda has now delivered a message to the community along with the patch notes, apologizing for the current state of the game while also promising that fixes are on the way. "Thank you so much for playing Monster Hunter Wilds. And a big thank you as well to all the hunters who have been sharing their game feedback and requests," Tokuda said. "The entire development team is carefully reviewing your feedback and working hard to implement improvements and adjustments. "We apologize for the time some improvements may take, but we are committed to delivering a more enjoyable and satisfying gaming experience, so we greatly appreciate your patience." Capcom said it is aware of many bug fixes, including an issue where the game may crash when a player gesture hits another player at the same time that a specific type of communication error has occurred, and plan to address it in the upcoming patch It also plans on introducing additional optimisation fixes in the future to improve stability, particularly on PC, including CPU load reduction in Title Update 4 later this year.
