The Xbox Series X/S port of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has swapped out the Ape Escape minigame with one involving a popular Konami owned character.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a new remake that’s coming out on August 28, 2025. As the game is multiplatform, many assumed that Snake vs. Monkey wouldn’t make the cut, but it appeared initially in a leaked trailer, which was shown during the February 2025 State of Play.
Once the State of Play was over, Konami uploaded an Xbox-themed trailer on its YouTube channel, revealing that Snake vs. Monkey is going to be replaced with something different on Microsoft’s platform.
