Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. If you haven’t picked up a physical copy for PS5 or Xbox Series X, there’s still time to get the Tactical Edition for either platform. And depending on your location, you may be able to start playing as soon as Friday by ordering from Amazon or Walmart. The Tactical Edition includes a voucher for the Sneaking DLC Pack, which unlocks 10 cosmetics for Solid Snake, including six alternate suits. The Sneaking DLC Pack is sold separately for $15, so you might as well get it for free while you can.
PC players, meanwhile, can save 25% on Steam keys at GameSpot sister site Fanatical.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater – Tactical Edition:
If you were hoping to secure the hard-to-find Collector’s Edition on launch day, it’s technically available at Walmart for PS5. I said “technically” because Walmart is currently charging $329.90 for the Collector’s Edition–$130 above MSRP. It’s not a seller on Walmart’s marketplace; The Collector’s Edition is sold and shipped by Walmart at this price. In case you can’t see it on your end–Walmart sometimes limits items to specific regions across the US–I’ve attached a screenshot at the bottom of this article
Earlier tonight, Walmart’s price was $337.86 for Xbox and PS5. The Xbox edition seemingly sold out, and it seems like people are indeed paying this much for the PlayStation version, too. Perhaps people are banking on Walmart providing a partial refund for charging too much. I wouldn’t count on that, but hey, Walmart does offer free 30-day returns, so you wouldn’t be stuck with it if you decide $330 is too much.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Collector’s Edition
The Collector’s Edition comes with the Tactical Edition and Sneaking DLC Pack. It’s not surprising the Collector’s Edition has been so difficult to find in stock. The Terrarium Diorama and exclusive steelbook are very cool. The diorama recreates a scene from the game’s first mission, and the steelbook has Yoji Shinkawa’s artwork from the original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
- Collector’s Box
- Terrarium Diorama
- Steelbook Case
- Snake’s ID Card Lanyard
- Halo Jump Patch
- Fox Patch
$69 | Includes $15 DLC Pack
As they often do, Walmart and Amazon have undercut the competition by one dollar for the Tactical Edition on PS5 and Xbox Series X. It’s worth emphasizing that the Tactical Edition is a special launch edition. At some point, whenever retailers sell through their inventories, the next batch of physical copies will be standard editions without the Sneaking DLC voucher in the box.
Sneaking DLC Pack:
The 10-item cosmetics bundle includes six suits, two masks, and two alternate face camos. Two of the suits are from Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. You can also make Snake cosplay as a crocodile.
- Battle Suit Uniform (Peace Walker version)
- Sneaking Suit Uniform (Peace Walker version)
- Crocodile Suit Uniform
- Naked (Woodland) Uniform
- Naked (Ammunition Beld) Uniform
- Gold Uniform
- Glasses Face Camo
- Sunglasses Face Camo
- GA-KO Mask
- Kerotan Mask
Standard – $52.38 (was $70) | Deluxe – $59.87 (was $80)
The 25% discount on Steam keys at Fanatical applies to both the standard and Digital Deluxe Editions. Just keep in mind that one of the main perks of the Digital Deluxe Edition was two-day early access. The other perk is the Sneaking DLC Pack.
