Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes came out way back in March of this year for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Furthermore, the Playstation 4 and Xbox One both received digital versions of the game, which have since gotten physical renditions. Now, it's finally time for the PC to get its turn with a Steam release of Metal Gear Sold 5: Ground Zeroes. This iteration of the game will be available for players via Steam tomorrow, on December 18, 2014.
However, there's been some confusion among gamers as to what exactly Ground Zeroes will require of players' computers. In November, Konami posted what they believed to be the specifications required to run Ground Zeroes on Steam. As it turns out, these specifications were wrong, and have since been changed.
Here are both the old and new requirements:
