The highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has launched and is now available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC gamers. Missed your chance to secure a physical edition for PS5 or Xbox Series X? The Tactical Edition, complete with bonus content, is still within reach for both console platforms. Depending on your location, Amazon and Walmart may offer delivery as early as Friday. This special Tactical Edition includes a download code for the Sneaking DLC Pack, unlocking ten unique cosmetic items for Solid Snake, including six distinct outfit variations. Considering the Sneaking DLC Pack retails separately for $15, obtaining the Tactical Edition is a worthwhile proposition to save on this extra content.
For PC gamers, there’s an attractive offer available! Grab your Steam keys with a 25% discount courtesy of Fanatical, GameSpot’s sister site.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater – Tactical Edition:
Eagerly sought after, the Collector’s Edition is, *in a way*, available through Walmart, specifically for the PS5 version. The “in a way” is because Walmart is listing the Collector’s Edition at a premium of $329.90, a significant $130 markup from the suggested retail price. Note that this isn’t a third-party seller; Walmart themselves are both selling and shipping the Collector’s Edition at this elevated price. If you are unable to view the listing, it may be due to regional limitations Walmart sometimes implements; a screenshot is included at the bottom of this article for your reference.
Earlier this evening, the same Collector’s Editions were priced at $337.86 for both Xbox and PS5. The Xbox version appears to be sold out currently, implying that individuals are, in fact, purchasing the PlayStation 5 version at this elevated rate. Some buyers might be hoping for a partial refund from Walmart due to the overcharge. While this outcome isn’t guaranteed, Walmart’s 30-day free returns policy offers recourse should you deem the $330 price tag excessive.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Collector’s Edition
The coveted Collector’s Edition bundles the Tactical Edition with the Sneaking DLC Pack. The scarcity of this Collector’s Edition is understandable, given its enticing contents. The Terrarium Diorama, depicting a scene from the game’s inaugural mission, and the steelbook showcasing original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater artwork by Yoji Shinkawa, are particularly attractive additions.
- Collector’s Box
- Terrarium Diorama
- Steelbook Case
- Snake’s ID Card Lanyard
- Halo Jump Patch
- Fox Patch
$69 | Includes $15 DLC Pack
True to form, both Walmart and Amazon are offering the Tactical Edition for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X at a slightly lower price than competitors. Remember that the Tactical Edition is a limited launch release. Once retailers deplete their stock, subsequent physical copies will revert to standard editions, lacking the Sneaking DLC voucher.
Sneaking DLC Pack:
This comprehensive 10-item cosmetic pack features six diverse suits, two masks, and two camouflage options for your face. Notably, two of the suits are inspired by Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Players can even dress Solid Snake in a crocodile-themed outfit.

- Sneaking Suit Uniform (Peace Walker version)
- Crocodile Suit Uniform
- Naked (Woodland) Uniform
- Naked (Ammunition Belt) Uniform
- Gold Uniform
- Glasses Face Camo
- Sunglasses Face Camo

Standard – $52.38 (was $70) | Deluxe – $59.87 (was $80)
Fanatical’s 25% discount on Steam keys applies to both the standard version and the Digital Deluxe Edition. Do keep in mind the primary advantage of the Digital Deluxe Edition was early access for two days, which has now passed. It also includes the Sneaking DLC Pack.
