Fans have been abuzz about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, excited to experience the series' iconic stealth action again, only with modern technology powering the game. KONAMI's remake seems to be more of a visual and gameplay overhaul than just an upgrade, and with all the excitement, one common question remains: will PS4 and Xbox One players get it?

Why is Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater not coming to PS4 and Xbox One? Possible reasons explored

KONAMI isn’t just giving Snake Eater a visual freshening-up. It’s going to be a complete rebuild in Unreal Engine 5. This is the first Metal Gear title since the Kojima Productions era that isn’t using the Fox Engine, which is significant, since UE5 has superior rendering, lighting, and physics that are tuned specifically for present generation hardware.

Older consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One would struggle to handle the density of jungle foliage, the detail of character models, and advanced 3D audio processing around which the remake is built.

What’s coming with the new version

The remake stays true to the original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, but adds a new layer of immersion thanks to the use of modern tech. During PlayStation’s State of Play, KONAMI dropped a fresh trailer that reintroduced the Cobra Unit and confirmed the return of SNAKE VS MONKEY, a fan-favourite mini-game making its way to the PlayStation and Steam versions.

For PS5 Pro users, there are extra performance perks on the table. The game supports smoother frame rates even in Quality Mode, and with PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), the lush jungle settings are rendered with razor-sharp clarity.

Editions, bonuses, and early access

The game will be available in two versions: Standard and Digital Deluxe. Both include the White Tuxedo uniform as a pre-order bonus, while the Digital Deluxe Edition adds the Sneaking DLC Pack with multiple costumes, masks, and cosmetic gear. Deluxe Edition buyers also get 48 hours of early access before launch.
