Last update: 11 May 2016
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is supported by five different video game platforms: personal computers, old generation consoles (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) and new generation consoles (PlayStation 4, Xbox One). The PC version has an average requirements although it does require one to have a decent quad-core processor, at least 4 GB RAM and at least GeForce GTX 650 video card (with at least 2 GB memory). However this game is very well optimalized and you may easily enjoy yourself without buying the hardware recommended by the developer.
To create this guide we have been using the PlayStation 4 console and it has made a great job. The game works perfect beside of how many details and actions are presented even in very complex areas such as the villages or during the intense battles. It is worth to mention that MGSV loads very fast, especially when a player just wants to load a last checkpoint (game does not allow you to make your own save points however it saves its progress fairly often).
