Test Notes:
※ Physical release includes a code voucher for the "White Tuxedo" uniform (early unlock) & "Sneaking DLC Pack" (Uniforms: Battle Dress [PW ver.], Sneaking Suit [PW ver.], Crocodile Suit, Naked [Woodland & Ammunition Belt vers.] & Gold / Face: Glasses & Sunglasses / Equipment: Kerotan & GA-KO Masks). Also, extra features originating from the PS2 versions & available as part of the release date patch, such as "Secret Theater," "Snake vs. Monkey" & the re-imagined "Guy Savage" mini-game by developer Platinum Games, don't appear to be present on the disc. The online multi-player component, "Foxhunt," is also absent with its availability scheduled post-launch of the game via an update.

-- Compared to other reports, no crashes occurred over the course of a single play-through.
-- Insignificant frame-rate drops were present throughout the experience. However, it's pretty noticeable during cross-fade transitions in cutscenes that connect two real-time sequences.
-- Minor ghosting effects were observable from various game-play elements, such as falling leaves out in the wilderness or select movement while in dark environments. During close-up shots of characters with their hair going out of frame, lighting can occasionally give the illusion of a bright white streak at the edge of the TV display.
-- About a second of lag / pop-in can been seen for select aspects, such as loading the 'Markhor' goat in the "Food" sub-menu, Snake's model appearing in the "Inventory" menu, shifting light on the water surface when unequipping the thermal googles in the 'Chyornyj Prud' location or the sudden appearance of shadows from grass while moving along areas for 'The End' boss fight.
-- Varying social media reports claim select alert cancellation, fire support & healing frequencies might be bugged across all difficulties. It's speculated the channel numbers must first be obtained from a soldier while also potentially being only active within the same location. On "Normal" difficulty, radio 141.31 in 'Svyatogornyj West' worked to unlock the "Friendly Fire" trophy for reference.
-- For collectible GA-KO #55, during the first part of 'Groznyj Grad Runway,' it's located in a small hole in the ground off to the left of box #11 instead of being placed on top as seen in video guides. Recommended to make a save file right at the start of this section to reload on the chance it's missed. We used a machine gun while passing by on the motorcycle to hit it. Please reference the count through the PS5 trophy system to double-check whether the collectible properly registered.
-- For collectible GA-KO #59, in 'Groznyj Grad Rail Bridge North,' it's located on a wooden platform at the base of a guard tower instead of being placed on the right side of a vehicle bumper from the player's perspective as seen in video walk-throughs.

Content Completed:
-- Completely playable offline with no download required. Beaten on default settings in "Performance" mode while utilizing English audio, no subtitles & the "New Style" control scheme. 91% trophies achieved at the time of this report with all side content done (ex. 64 GA-KOs, 64 Kerotans, 100% food collection, all camouflage, no alerts, no kills, etc.) except the "FOXHOUND" accolade which requires playing on 'Extreme' difficulty for final platinum status. It requires a total play-time under 5 hours (ex. skipping all cut-scenes), zero continues / alerts / kills, under 20 serious injuries, less than 5 life bars of damage taken, no LIFE medicines or special items used (ex. EZ Gun, stealth camo, infinity face paint).
