The Steam Awards 2025 nomination phase is officially underway, and Konami is rallying the troops. The publisher is calling on fans to nominate Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater for a spot in this year's prestigious lineup. Coinciding with the campaign, the game has received a significant price cut for the Black Friday window.
Mission Objective: Secure the Nomination
Since its release in August, this remake has walked a fine line between modernizing a classic and preserving the soul of the 2004 original. Now, the developers are looking to cement that effort with a Steam Award. Players have until Monday, December 1 at 10:00 AM PST to cast their nominations.
For veterans of the series, this is a chance to recognize how well the remake handled the transition to the Unreal Engine 5 era without losing the tactical friction that defined the original Tselinoyarsk mission. Whether it's the updated camouflage index system or the seamless transition between stealth and CQC, the nomination is a nod to preserving gaming history correctly.
Is now the right time to deploy?
If you haven't stepped into Naked Snake's boots yet, the barrier to entry just got lower. Konami has launched a Black Friday Sale running alongside the voting period, offering the Standard Edition of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater at 30% off.
This discount is particularly notable for a title released just a few months ago. It places the game in a much more accessible bracket for players who were hesitant to pay full price at launch but were eager to experience the origin story of Big Boss. The sale applies to the PC version via Steam, aligning perfectly with the voting window.
