Metal Gear Survive is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 3,300, a sealed PlayStation 4 disc running on Konami's Fox Engine with single-player and up to 4-player online co-op. This survival action title installs in roughly 16 GB and plays on both PS4 and PS5 through backward compatibility. You will find Metal Gear Survive on the shelf at our store: Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The disc carries an ESRB Mature 17+ rating and requires a constant internet connection to play, since the game stores progress on Konami's servers rather than the console.
Metal Gear Survive suits PS4 owners in Kenya who already finished the main Metal Gear Solid V campaign and want a different kind of challenge built around scavenging, crafting, and base defence. University students at JKUAT, Strathmore, and Kenyatta University with a stable home connection through Safaricom Home Fibre or Faiba can run the always-online single-player without a paid subscription. The game answers a common problem for budget-conscious players: a full Metal Gear title at KSh 3,300 rather than the KSh 6,000 to KSh 7,000 charged for newer releases. Resource gathering, weapon fabrication, and wave-based co-op give long playtime per shilling spent.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who list game discs without explaining the online requirement, Mascom International states it upfront: Metal Gear Survive needs internet even for solo play, so a reliable connection matters before you buy. Buyers across Nairobi tell us they appreciate testing the sealed disc at our counter and confirming compatibility with their console first. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to inspect Metal Gear Survive in person, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to your county. You pay only when the disc reaches your hand.
Common Questions About the Metal Gear Survive
What is Metal Gear Survive and how does it play?
Metal Gear Survive is a survival action game from Konami, released in February 2018 as a spin-off from Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Your character is pulled through a wormhole into an alternate dimension filled with crystalline zombie-like creatures called Wanderers. You scavenge food, water, and raw materials, craft weapons and tools, then build and defend a base camp. The Fox Engine carries over the movement and stealth feel of Metal Gear Solid V, layered with crafting and tower-defence wave survival. It plays solo or with up to three other players online.
Do I need PlayStation Plus to play Metal Gear Survive?
You do not need PlayStation Plus for the single-player campaign or to run co-op missions by yourself. PS Plus becomes necessary only when you join other players in online multiplayer co-op, which is standard for online PS4 titles. Metal Gear Survive still needs a constant internet connection at all times, even in solo play, because Konami stores save data server-side to prevent tampering. For most Kenyan players, a home fibre line or a strong mobile hotspot through Safaricom or Airtel handles this without trouble during play sessions.
Will Metal Gear Survive work on my PS5?
Yes. Metal Gear Survive is a PS4 disc that plays on the PlayStation 5 through backward compatibility, so a PS5 owner with a disc drive can insert it and play directly. Your PS5 may prompt a system software update before the game launches, which is normal for older PS4 titles. Some PS4-specific features may differ slightly on PS5, but the full single-player and co-op modes run. The disc also plays natively on any standard PS4, PS4 Slim, or PS4 Pro. Buy with confidence whether you own last generation or current hardware.
Is Metal Gear Survive worth KSh 3,300 in Kenya's market?
For a complete Metal Gear title with dozens of hours of campaign and co-op content, KSh 3,300 sits well below the KSh 6,000 to KSh 7,000 typical of recent PS4 and PS5 game discs. The value lands for players who enjoy survival crafting, base management, and stealth combat rather than a short scripted story. The constant online requirement is the main caveat to weigh against the price. If you have steady internet, the cost per hour of play is low, making this a sensible pick-up for an existing Metal Gear fan.
How much storage does Metal Gear Survive need on PS4?
Metal Gear Survive installs at roughly 16 GB on PS4 and Xbox One, a modest footprint compared with newer titles that run 50 GB or more. Even with the disc in the drive, the PS4 copies game data to the internal hard drive, so you need about 16 GB of free space before installing. On a standard 500 GB PS4 this leaves plenty of room for other games. Clearing space is rarely an issue, which makes the title friendly for players juggling several games on one console.
What modes and content does Metal Gear Survive include?
Metal Gear Survive includes a single-player story campaign and a co-op survival mode supporting up to four players online. The campaign sends you across a fog-covered map gathering resources, fighting Wanderers, and expanding a base camp with crop growing, water storage, and crafting stations. Co-op missions task teams with defending a digging point through waves of enemies. Progress and gear carry between solo and co-op through the shared Base Camp. Optional SV Coins exist as in-game currency, but Konami confirmed no loot boxes and no pay-to-win mechanics.
Does Metal Gear Survive need a Kenyan internet plan that stays connected?
Metal Gear Survive requires the console to stay online for the entire play session, so an unstable connection can interrupt your game. A Safaricom Home Fibre, Faiba 4G, or JTL Faiba line gives the steady connection the game expects. A mobile hotspot through Safaricom or Airtel works for shorter sessions if the signal holds. Because saves live on Konami's servers, dropping offline mid-mission can cost progress. We flag this clearly so Kenyan buyers plan their setup before purchase rather than discover the limit after opening the disc.
How does Metal Gear Survive compare to Metal Gear Solid V?
Metal Gear Survive shares the Fox Engine, controls, and movement of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, so the moment-to-moment feel will be familiar. The direction differs sharply. Where Phantom Pain is an open-world stealth espionage story, Survive focuses on survival crafting, hunger and thirst management, and base defence against creature hordes. It carries no Hideo Kojima involvement, as he left Konami before development. Players who loved Phantom Pain's gameplay but want a fresh survival challenge tend to enjoy Survive; those seeking the same espionage story should set expectations accordingly.
