About

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is a 2014 action-adventure prologue that introduces a major shift in the franchise toward open-world gameplay. The game features real-time day and night cycles, flexible mission structures that let you tackle objectives in any order, and refined sneaking mechanics that build on the series' stealth foundations. It's a compact but impactful entry that sets the stage for The Phantom Pain.

Ground Zeroes is quite accessible from a hardware perspective, making it an excellent benchmark title for older or budget-focused systems. You'll need at least an entry-level GPU with a score around 1759 and a CPU hitting roughly 3652 to meet minimum requirements, along with 4 GB of RAM. Even modest graphics cards will deliver solid FPS performance, and the game scales well across different GPU tiers, allowing you to push visual quality on mid-range hardware without compromising frame rates.

With a respectable 75/100 rating, Ground Zeroes is worth playing if you enjoy stealth gameplay and have interest in Metal Gear's narrative. However, it's relatively brief, so consider it more of a prologue experience than a full standalone adventure.

Performance profile

Released in March 2014, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Extremely light — Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

The year is 1975, the age of détente. The Vietnam conflict is drawing to a close and the world is thawing in the wake of the Cold War. However, as tension among the world's giant superpowers eased, a tiny military force quietly took root in the Caribbean. A new type of military - an army without a nation, or any land to call home. Lead by an enigmatic man known as "Snake," the clandestine group operated in the shadows as elite guns-for-hire, servicing various governments around the world. As their reputation grew, so did their funding and military might. Eventually, rumors began to spread that the group had attained nuclear weapons capability. The alarming prospect of a nuclear-equipped military force existing beyond the confines of the NPT (Nuclear Proliferation Treaty), and without any formal government, prompted demands for immediate nuclear inspection by the IAEA. At that same time, Snake also received word that "Paz," a female spy who had once infiltrated his army's "Mother Base" was alive and being interrogated at a US Naval base on the southern tip of Cuba. The base housed a prison facility - a black-site that could operate outside the laws of both Cuba and the United States, where extreme forms of interrogation were sanctioned. Upon learning of the situation, Chico, a young volunteer in Snake's army with feelings for Paz, took it upon himself to rescue her. It wasn't long before Snake received a distress call from Chico revealing that he had also been captured. With few options left, Snake embarks on a covert mission to reclaim both Paz and Chico from Cuba while Mother Base prepares to welcome its nuclear inspection. Little did Snake know that this decision would set in motion a series of tragic events that would forever change his fate.
