Metal Gear Survive is a title that has a lot going against it. After all, it’s the first Metal Gear game to come out since the very public and very controversial firing of Hideo Kojima, the man who made Metal Gear Solid and its following saga. Yet, Konami is pushing forward with it, they had a beta recently, and now, they’re gearing up for its release later this month. As such, they want to make sure that PC users are ready for the requirements the game will have on their computers.
If you wish to play at the minimum requirements, here’s what you need:
- OS: Windows 7×64, Windows 8×64, Windows 10×64 (64-bit OS Required)

As for what the game is itself, it’s a very different kind of Metal Gear Game. Set after the events of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, it follows a group of soldiers from Naked Snake’s unit who get transported to another world via a wormhole. This new world is full of monsters, and you must scavenge around for supplies, items, weapons, and even allies to help set up defenses to fight off what’s coming for you.
