After getting closer to its release, Konami finally officially open the process of pre-orders for MGS V: The Phantom Pain PC version via Steam. The best news? Having had planned to be released 2 weeks late compared to the console version, MGS V: The Phantom Pain official PC accelerated. Like the console version, it will now arrive precisely on 1 September 2015. Together with this announcement, Konami also released the official PC specs needed to run this game to the maximum:

Interested to buy via Steam? There is a bad news. When this article is written, Konami does not seem to provide an option at all to buy MGS V: The Phantom Pain separately. It is bundled in a package with MGS V: Ground zeroes and some pre-order bonuses. Pre-orders are sold at a price which is quite expensive. It remains unclear whether it will be sold separately or not later. Our advice? It would be wise if you wait if you already have MGS V: Ground zeroes before.
Gamers who are looking forward to Metal Gear Online also have to be patient. Konami ensure that this feature was postponed to October for the console versions, and in January 2016 for the PC version.
What about yourself? is your PC ready to enjoy MGS V: The Phantom Pain in its maximum quality?
