Metal Gear Solid Delta_ Snake Eater system requirements are here, and it's yet another game that req

From our , it seems to be a near shot-for-shot remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 but much prettier. The first Metal Gear game in Unreal Engine 5, the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater system requirements show the hotly anticipated remake is one of a few games recently that require an RTX card to even play the game on minimum settings.

Unveiled in a recent update to the Steam page for the game, the system requirements are mostly what you might expect from a modern game, except you need, at minimum, an which is a mid-range card from just five years ago.

This is one of a handful of games recently to suggest the same, with [[link]] , , and all requiring the same GPU.

Another minimum spec indicative of contemporary game requirements is the storage, which currently requires 100 GB to fit the game on. Game file sizes are a little less fixed in stone than other elements here, so this is subject to change, but you will want to clear some room in advance either way. An SSD is also recommended, though seemingly not required to boot the game up. You can see the full list below:

Though an [[link]] AMD CPU is mentioned in both sets of specs, an AMG GPU is not. There is also no mention of an Intel GPU either. That being said, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain also doesn't mention an AMD GPU in its and works fine with one so we'll have to wait until launch to see how non-Nvidia cards handle the game.

Aside from the elephant in the room that is the graphics card recommendation, the CPU requirements aren't too tough, with both AMD and Intel choices available in budget rigs at the time of their launch. The recommended GPU of an isn't too bad, considering Indiana Jones and the Great Circle recommends an , and Ultra settings require an . The RTX 3080 was still a reasonably expensive card on its launch (especially with crypto miners sending prices skyrocketing) but getting recommended specs with a high-end card from 2020 is a little better than some similar games.

Notably, the switch from [[link]] Konami's own Fox Engine to Unreal Engine 5 could have some role in the GPU requirement. An RTX 2000-series card or later is required for hardware-based ray tracing with Lumen, Unreal Engine 5's dynamic illumination and reflection system. If Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater requires hardware-based rather than software-based Lumen, this could explain what's going on here. We'll know much more about it coming up to launch on August 28, this year.
