NVIDIA to Bundle Metal Gear Solid V with GeForce GPUs

LoadsaMoney · 19 Jul 2015 at 12:54

NVIDIA is assisting Konami with the PC version of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and it appears that the game will be bundled with NVIDIA’s GeForce graphics cards.

Leaked by Reddit and subsequently confirmed by Newegg, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will replace Batman: Arkham Knight in NVIDIA’s promotional deal.

Newegg’s support wrote:

“Hi everyone! We had a little slip up and posted this deal ahead of schedule. It is not currently available, but stay tuned, it will be soon! Newegg Support -Tori”

While Newegg support did not detail what GPU models will be featured in the bundle, it can be assumed that they will be similar to the Batman Arkham Knight deal, and that the game will be bundled with the GeForce GTX 970, GTX 980 and GTX 980Ti, and quite likely the Titan X.

The Japanese voice actor behind Solid Snake, Akio Otsuka, has reported that Kojima Productions was forced to disband, and that their efforts in creating their biggest masterpiece with Metal Gear Solid V is almost complete.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain went down a storm at E3 2015 receiving a plethora of nominations and awards, including IGN’s Game of the Show, Gamespot’s Best of E3, Polygon’s Editor’s Choice and many more. The full list of nomination and awards can be viewed here.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain releases on September 1st for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and on PC on September 15. We will bring you any new information regarding Metal Gear Solid V, Konami and Hideo Kojima as soon as it becomes available.

Less broken than Batman, more broken than BF4???

Gregster · 19 Jul 2015 at 13:41

A non broken game at launch would be nice but seems that is an impossibility nowadays

MgsV R.i.p it was fun to know you

I wonder if this will be the kiss of death for this game as well.

Vinno · 19 Jul 2015 at 18:28

I'm gonna go ahead and say it won't be broken - Kojima will personally ensur- nevermind.

**** Konami.

"Huh...how did that man size box get there?"

This is great news. MGS4 was my favourite PS3 game of last gen by a mile

colinmcr · 19 Jul 2015 at 18:41

I didn't even bother to claim my Batman codes

FadeXIII · 19 Jul 2015 at 18:47

any idea when this promo starts?

Killer7xx · 19 Jul 2015 at 18:56

That means this game will surely break the records for steam refunds set by Arkham Knight.

I love the MGS series... I was super hyped for this. Luckily its using the Fox engine and I don't think it will contain any of the poison that is Gameworks (any confirmation?). I hope TWIMTBP isn't a sticker of death on this game like it is on some others, really looking forward to this.
