Konami today confirmed last year's Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has surpassed two million sales worldwide. It's doubled its total sales since release in August 2025, when the PS5 remake instantly opened to one million purchases on launch day.
The update actually means the latest edition is already one of the best-selling versions of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. On PS2, it's said to have sold more than four million copies, but no other version since then has come close to matching it. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is already halfway there, beating out the Nintendo 3DS version and the HD Collection.
We called Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater the "best version of an undisputed classic" in our 9/10-rated PS5 review last year. "Its light but meaningful gameplay updates enhance interaction and feel, while a visual overhaul allows it to rub shoulders with the PS5’s graphical elite," we concluded. "By staying so loyal to its source text, Metal Gear Solid 3 is now just as incredible today as it was over 20 years ago."
Are you one of the over two million owners of the game? Let us know in the comments below.

Never played any MGS but I’ve always wanted to. Think I’ll be grabbing this in the year.
@Onearmbandit You're in for treat. I love the series but I'm just not that great at stealth games.
I said in the remake/remaster thread but they need to do MGS1 next and if that's done right that could be an all time classic.
Great game just a shame the performance is so bad i woudnt let virtous near anymore remakes
@Oram77 I'm actually kind of amazed no one has ever remade the original 2D MG 1 and 2. It seems like a licence to print money.
Kids this originally came out on the PS2 can you imagine playing it for the 1st time at the time it was very very impressive still is.
@LifeGirl That's a good point, considering how important they are to overarching story they probably should get remade.
@Oram77 since this seems like it was pretty successful , i wouldn't be shocked if they do remake part 1.
Time to greenlight MGS1 remake then!
@Onearmbandit You have a bright future ahead of you. Scotty said the same thing recently about having never played a Meteal Gear Solid game and all I could think is how lucky he was to experience them for the first time in possibly the best presentation/framerate possible. I'm still playing big Playstation one/two titles for the first time and if I mentioned them you'd recoil in horror. Spyro was about three weeks ago, Croc the same week, I saw Friends for the first time before Christmas, the Simpsons for the first time over the last two weeks (I'm on season six) you are late to the party but you aren't the only one. I think I'm going to watch/try Pokemon for the first time soon too. I'll show you something kind of neat. (I need to find it) then I'll hit edit.
The top left that Metal Gear Solid demo came with the first print/edition of Silent Hill and it was in Japanese. The Silent Hill demo came with the first edition of Metal Gear Solid (both obviously Konami) I'm assuming that demo was most peoples introduction to the series. I've been trying to source and arrange every Sony demo. The black ones are each Playstation (one) demo from every region UK/EU/RUS/JP etc, the blue ones PS2 and that orange is I believe the most widely recognized. There's another 300 or so demo discs to sort through but they mainly came from the Official Playstation magazine collection. I love the simple black ones and I did try that Japanese MGS demo, it felt brilliant, they labelled it as a 'Military Hardware Demonstration' I have the MGS2 demo too but that lives in the Zone of Enders box. I imagine the Silent Hill demo was the introduction to Silent Hill for a lot of players too.
@GirlVersusGame Wow. Only recently seeing Friends and The Simpsons is pretty impressive.
I've never seen a single Star Wars movie yet I absolutely adore the games.
@SMJ Not even one? The original Trilogy is like God giving Moses those tablets, Empire Strikes Back is one of the best movies ever to grace our world. Friends was okay (American humor is hard to grasp) The Simpsons was a lot better. I can't imagine playing a Star Wars game and never seeing the movies, though someone did say they played Rogue City and didn't see Robocop.
You haven't been tempted to watch the first three movies? It might be the most enriching six+ hours of your life. I didn't think I'd like those newer Disney movies, I was glad to be proven wrong. I watch all of the originals on May the 4th (Star Wars day) Next up is Rex Manning Day (April 8th) I always watch Empire Records that day.
