Ground Zeroes, The Phantom Pain Headed to Steam

Konami Europe accidentally spilled the beans a little bit early.

UPDATE: It's been confirmed.

--

More and more console games are also coming to the PC, but some heavy hitters remain elusive. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes will not be among those games, however.

No Caption Provided

Psst, check the bottom right corner.

A Metal Gear-related event is happening at Gamescom as I write this, but Konami Europe updated its website a tad early. Oops. We should hopefully have more details on Metal Gear's expansion onto the PC soon.

Awesome! Can't wait to play it. I doubt this would ever happen, but it'd be nice if the rest of the series came to PC as well.

Cool. Not only because I get to play MGS5 on my platform of choice, but because it might mean there will be less of a hurdle porting future fox engine games to PC. Looking forward to buying the demo again.

Good news for PC people! And if the game looks as good as it does and runs at 1080P 60FPS on PS4 (which is does, they've said so and Ground Zeroes does), then imagine what the PC version will look like!

Konami likes money, then? You could hardly tell from their output over the last few years.

Not that the PC was ever down, but I feel like it is having a huge resurencge in terms of console games now coming to PC.

I love it, but also makes me regret buying the new consoles big time.

Maybe this will be the excuse to upgrade my 570gtx

Unless all prior Metal Gear games also come to PC, not interested, as that's not a universe I feel one can just "jump into".

I played Meta Gear Solid on a PS1, but missed all the others.

Still, cool that more Japanese companies are making PC ports now. If only Bayonetta 1 & 2 would make it to PC.

Hope the ports are alright. Does Konami have much history with PC ports?

Great! Even less of a reason to buy the new consoles anytime soon. Let's hope they can make a worthwhile PC version though.

I'm pretty happy about this. However, other than Bloodborne (and maybe that new Michel Ancel joint) there's not much coming up for consoles I'm amped for. I'm starting to see some dust gather on my PS4 after only a couple months.

Even though I have a PS4 and did have an Xbox One I want as many games as possible to be on PC. This is great news.

YES!!

As someone who is trying to avoid getting a next gen console, this is perfect, the only game i'm missing now is Killer Instinct, but as a Tekken fan i can do without it.

This isn't the first time I've seen people very excited for a PC port and I've been starting to wonder... Does people only have PC these days? What systems do you have?

Oooo cool. Would be weird jumping in with only a limited knowledge of MGS1, 2, and Peace Walker, but tactical espionage action that sure looks pretty is hard to pass on.

Well you had to since they didn't let you use the mouse to aim in first person.
