Previously only available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, the PC version of Ground Zeroes is only the second Metal Gear game to come to Steam after Metal Gear Rising was released earlier this year. Its release arrives after the first videos of Metal Gear Online surfaced at The Game Awards earlier this month.
The game is timed to unlock at approximately 1:00 PM eastern time. If everything goes as expected, players can look forward to enhanced graphical option including 4k support.
