How to Preload Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater provides preloading for users who pre-order the Digital Deluxe Edition ($79.99). Preloading ensures that the game is ready to play upon launch. PlayStation 5 Preloading is now available via the PlayStation Store.
Go to the PSN store, search for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, buy the Digital Deluxe Edition, and then click “Preload” to begin downloading. Make sure you have enough storage space (around 70 GB) on your console.
Preloading is also available on the Microsoft Store for Xbox users. Find the game, buy the Deluxe Edition, and begin the preload process. The download size is comparable to PS5. On the other hand, preloading on Steam normally begins 24-48 hours before early access, which occurs around August 24 or 25, 2025. Purchase the Deluxe Edition on Steam, and the preload option will show in your library once it is available.
