Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater is a stunning remake of the original Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater game. It now uses the Unreal Engine 5 and is extremely taxing to run on current-gen gaming consoles. Below are a few key highlights that require attention before meddling with the graphic settings.

The base PS5 offers two graphics settings. Quality mode and the Performance mode. Quality mode targets 30FPS alongside a dynamic 4K resolution (native 1080p to 1584p); the upscaler algorithm is projected to be an iteration of FSR. That said, this quality mode offers improved global illumination and more object detail at a distance.

Performance mode on the regular PS5 aims for 60 FPS at max. The system and optimization efforts are not enough to achieve a constant 60 FPS. The frame rate, however, varies around 48-60 FPS in open areas. 30-50 FPS during combat or underwater.

Suggestion: Using the quality mode alongside VRR will yield the best Metal Gear experience.

PS5 Pro doesn’t offer a selection of any quality modes. There is a single hybrid mode that combines Quality and performance modes together, with a 60FPS target, with upscaling. Performance is inconsistent, with the frame rate fluctuating between 48 and 60 FPS, depending on the scene and combat.

Suggestion: Currently, VRR is experiencing issues with the PS5 Pro.  Restricting the game output to 30Hz will force a 30 FPS cap on your TV, reducing micro stutters.

PS5 and PS5 Pro Settings Summary

In the future, after the day 1 patch, things will likely change for good. But as of now, gamers with the base PS5 should opt for Quality mode for a stable 30FPS and great visuals. PS5 Pro users should enable VRR if it’s available on their display, smoothing out 40-60 FPS fluctuations. If you’re considering building a PC to play this new remaster. Check out a few mid-range GPU and CPU recommendations.

Additional Tweaks:

  • Enable HDR calibration in the PS5 settings for richer colors in jungle environments.
  • Adjust TV sharpness to 0-10 to reduce artifacting in upscaled modes.
  • Test with power-saving mode off for consistent performance during long sessions.
  • Opt for legacy color settings to bring back the original MGS3 look, bringing back that classic vibe.
  • Lock the output refresh rate on the PS5 Pro to temporarily bypass microstuttering issues.
