Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the eagerly anticipated remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, is due to launch in late August, so it is a bit soon to be talking about PC system requirements. Still, that hasn't stopped Konami from releasing PC specs well ahead of time, and confirming that the game will require a ray-tracing capable graphics card.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will have ray-traced lighting by default, meaning you'll need at least an RTX 20 series GPU, or an AMD RX 6000 series GPU in order to play. This isn't uncommon in the current gaming landscape, as other major titles like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Star Wars Outlaws have also launched with ray-traced lighting effects as the default option. As a result, the need for an RTX series or AMD equivalent GPU is growing by the day, leaving those still running on a GTX series GPU, or an older AMD Radeon GPU in a difficult position.
In the table below you can find the full minimum and recommended PC system requirements for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. At this point in time, Konami does not have an AMD graphics card listed but we expect that to change closer to the August launch date for the game.
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10, Windows 11 (64-bit OS required) | Windows 10, Windows 11 (64-bit OS required) |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-8600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
| Memory | 16GB RAM | 16GB RAM |
| Graphics | RTX 2060 Super (or newer) | RTX 3080 (or newer) |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 100GB | 100GB |
| Additional notes | SDD recommended | SDD recommended |
Like most other modern games too, the install size is large, coming in at 100GB and an SSD is recommended. While many modern games can still be played on a hard drive, issues like crashes, stutter, mismanaged textures and others are much more noticeable when running today's storage and memory-hungry games on an HDD.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will release for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on the 28th of August.
