The PC version of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain will release on September 15, 2015 - two weeks after the game's console launch on September 1, Konami has announced.

Available via Steam for £59.99, the PC release will include all of the digital content included with The Phantom Pain's Day 1 Edition, including an Adam-ska Special Handgun, Personal Ballistic Shield (Silver), Cardboard Box (Wetland), Fatigues (Blue Urban Snake Costume) and a Metal Gear Online XP Boost.

Konami has yet to announce further details on the PC version of The Phantom Pain.

dat two week gap

 

[BaronMonstro]

Disappointing, but I can wait two weeks.

The real question is will PC be getting the collector's edition.

edit: man that 60 quid price tag is a bit steep though

 

[KingSnake]

Better than GTA V at list.

 

[VAD]

Please don't do a Rockstar, Konami.

 

[Nzyme32]

Far better than I was expecting. Thought it would be next year or something.

Here is hoping for Steam Workshop support at some point, even if it is after launch. They seem to be amused by the modding community at least

 

[TheMoon]

Sigh, so much for "worldwide" ... PC = another world.

 

[Lulubop]

Nvidia stuff please. DD with furworks and HBAO+. Really happy onlyba two week delay.

 

[texhnolyze]

I expected worse, so this is good news for me.

 

[KojiKnight]

2 weeks? I'm actually pretty impressed. Yeah I'm sad it's not day one for us PCers.... but heck that's a ton better than I was expecting.

 

[dmr87]

And the reason for not releasing the same day is..?

Please don't say optimization.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

second class citizen status continues

where two week delays on games releasing six months from now are cheered

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

Two weeks is honestly much less of a gap than I expected.
The question is, can I wait that long to downsample............ or will I fold and purchase a copy for my PS4

 

[NIN90]

wow 60 quid

konami can fuck right off if they price it similarly in euros

 

[Mifec]

You know it will be.

 

[DeadManWalking]

F that. PS4 here we go.

 

[J@hranimo]

Ok, this is cool with me. 2 day early birthday present for me!

 

[Jimmyfenix]

No Physical Collector edition announced for PC as well

 

[Kezen]

I can wait two weeks for a superior version.

 

[Rockk]

Wow, I didn't expect it to come out on PC before GTAV

Why not? A year ago you'd get banned for openly entertaining the possibility of a new PC MGS. We've come a long way and two weeks is nothing.

 

[Skele7on]

KEPT YOU WAITING, HUH?

 

[Dictator93]

I can wait two weeks for a superior version.

You can barely see the difference. Only when huddled around your monitor.

 

[RK9039]

I can wait two weeks for a superior version.

Exactly, we waited almost 2 months for Dark Souls 2. This is easy. The price for the standard game however is a joke.

 

[Kajiba]

It will get pushed. I'll be surprised if actually comes out that date.

 

[Montresor]

dat two week gap

That made my day too when I learned of this. I'm swelling with pride at the thought of playing Phantom Pain two weeks earlier than PC folks. Typically my line of thought is: It's not enough for me to enjoy myself; others below me must suffer too.

 

[Mifec]

It will get pushed. I'll be surprised if actually comes out that date.

There is no reason for it not to come out on sept 1st, they have 6 whole months to make it ready rofl.

 

[YuriLowell]

I don't think I can wait two weeks.

 

[FACE]

Shitty, but not as shitty as it could've been(GTA V).

Yay, I guess?

 

[Exodist]

That price is fucking insane, holy shit. I don't want that digital collectors edition content, and why does it cost an extra £20?

 

[KnockOneOff]

Piracy on PC no doubt

If someone owns a Xbox one or ps4 and a PC, they will be tempted to just download it on PC

That 2 week gap with a huge marketing push will make people cough up the dough

 

[TheSpoiler]

DOUBLE

DIPPING.

I mean I had planned to, but you know.

 

[Mrbob]

Nope. PS4 version it is. Two week delay is lame for such a big release.

 

[roytheone]

Not too bad, I expected much worse to be honest.

 

[Lord Phol]

Two weeks I can do! 59.99 is alot of monies though.

 

[Alienous]

I wouldn't worry too much about it, it'll probably get delayed anyway.

 

[Wedge7]

Better than expected actually

 

[SmashN'Grab]

2 weeks isn't much in the great scheme of things. Main thing is that it doesn't get pushed back by a few months closer to launch. Also, fingers crossed it runs as well as Ground Zeroes (on consoles too, the 60fps was extremely welcome)

At £59.99, I'm guessing it'll be €69.99 for eurozone. I don't think I've ever seen a game go for that much on Steam. Even Call of Duty is €59.99 at launch, isn't it?

 

[georly]

Two weeks means I don't have to buy the console version. I can 100% wait two weeks. Based ko nami/jima

 

[Corpekata]

I didn't even expect a release date this year honestly so that's a nice surprise.

 

[Arizato]

Has the PC version been confirmed for the Collector's Edition? I need that so bad!

 

[ArjanN]

You can barely see the difference. Only when huddled around your monitor.

Not really.

 

[Mifec]

Has the PC version been confirmed for the Collector's Edition? I need that so bad!

No CE for the PC version.

 

[Inferno313]

Has the PC version been confirmed for the Collector's Edition? I need that so bad!

According to that other thread, Day 1 edition is PC/Xbox/PS4 but CE is Xbox/PS4. :/

The game is also coming on PS3 and X360 as well so if someone really wants to pirate it they can still do so and play the game on it. Obviously it won't be the same as the current gen versions but there's that.

 

[OverturePT]

I can live with that, 2 weeks is nothing.

 

[no maam]

Was ground zeroes optimized well for the pc? If so I can wait 2 weeks instead of the Xbox version.

 

[NumberThree]

Short enough delay to just wait out. That price is a fucker, though.

 

[KarasuEXE]

Well, two weeks avoiding spoilers... I think I can make it.

 

[derExperte]

Was ground zeroes optimized well for the pc?

Yes, looks much better and runs great.
