So, you’re probably curious if KONAMI’s upcoming tactical stealth action game, METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER, is gonna hit Xbox Game Pass when it drops in late August.

Bad news, though: METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER won’t be on Xbox Game Pass at launch on August 28, 2025, and there’s no hint it’ll show up on the service anytime soon. KONAMI doesn’t really mess with Game Pass much—aside from some free perks for eFootball players—and that’s likely how it’ll stay for now. You can, however, pre-order the game on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles. It’s priced at $69.99 for the Standard Edition and $79.99 for the Digital Deluxe Edition, which tosses in some cool extras like a tuxedo costume for Snake.

Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater Release Date and Platforms

 

The Metal Gear Solid Delta release date is locked in for August 28, 2025. While it’s been hyped up mostly for the PS5, it’s also coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC through Steam. Pre-orders are live across all platforms, and there’s a pre-order bonus pack to sweeten the deal.

If you grab the pricier Deluxe Edition, you get to jump into the game 48 hours early—starting August 26, 2025. That early access incentive is only for Deluxe Edition pre-orders, not the Standard Edition, but it’s available on all platforms.

Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater Editions and Prices

 

Like KONAMI’s Silent Hill 2 Remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta comes in two editions: Standard and Deluxe. Since it’s a current-gen title, the Standard Edition costs $70, while the Deluxe Edition runs $80. That extra $10 gets you some nice add-ons. The Deluxe Edition bonuses include the Sneaking DLC pack with 10 unique costume pieces for Snake, the game’s main character. Plus, you get that 48-hour early access to the base game. Here’s the breakdown of the editions and the Sneaking DLC pack:

Standard Edition ($70)
