Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater – Release Date, Editions & Early Access Unpacked

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is officially set to launch on August 28, 2025, and I don’t know about you, but my heart skipped a beat the moment I found out.

This isn’t just a re-release—it’s a full-on remake of one of gaming’s stealth summits, rebuilt for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The promise of modern performance and crisp visuals, while staying faithful to the original story, feels like slipping back into an old pair of combat boots—comforting, yet somehow thrillingly fresh.

Ever wondered what it will feel like to parachute into the jungle once more, only this time in 4K? Yeah, me too.

Global Launch Windows

According to the official PlayStation Store listing, Snake Eater unlocks on August 28 at 4:00 PM PT. But if you’re anywhere outside Los Angeles, you’ll need to plan accordingly:

• Los Angeles (PT): Aug 28 – 4:00 PM

These are the official times. They might wiggle a little closer to launch, but so far, no delays on the horizon.

Pick Your Poison: Editions and Pre-Order Goodies

Metal Gear Solid Delta bows in four versions, split between physical and digital. No matter which you snag, the White Tuxedo camouflage uniform is yours—an undeniably classy nod to series lore.

1. Tactical Edition – $69.99
   • Base Game
   • Sneaking DLC Pack
   • White Tuxedo pre-order bonus
2. Collector’s Edition – $199.99
   • Base Game
   • Sneaking DLC Pack
   • Collector’s Box + physical swag
   • White Tuxedo pre-order bonus

Sneaking DLC Pack includes:

Digital Editions (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC)

Personally? I’m flirting with the Digital Deluxe. Getting in two days ahead of the crowd feels like espionage 101—planting yourself in the jungle before anyone else. But if you’re a die-hard collector, the hefty Collector’s Edition box might be exactly what your shelf needs.

Whether you’re sneaking in broad daylight or under the cover of darkness, Delta: Snake Eater looks poised to deliver goosebumps-worthy nostalgia and next-gen polish.
