Konami released a novel one Metal Gear Solid The Fox Hunt update brings various fixes to the publisher’s novel multiplayer game while also adding a much-requested feature.
The most significant change is the way matchmaking works. Previously, players had to manually select their region, which could raise wait times depending on the region selected and the time of day. The game will now detect if matchmaking is taking too long, expanding the search to all regions.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Fox Hunt update 1.2.3 is available for download on all platforms. To access the game, you must install it. Here is a summary of the changes that have been made.
Metal Gear Solid Fox Hunt Update 1.2.3 Patch Notes

- XP can now be earned in custom matches.
- Players will now be matched with others from different regions if matchmaking on their current server takes too long.
- Increased the duration of immortality after respawning.
- Fixed a bug that caused immortality to be canceled after respawning by throwing or using Bare Sense.
- Minor fixes and adjustments.
Fox Hunt launched on October 30 as part of the Snake Eater remake. In our review, we gave the multiplayer a solid 8/10, stating:
“Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater’s Fox Hunt multiplayer rounds out one of the best remakes of 2025. It offers a surprisingly solid take on existing battle royale and extraction shooter concepts, with smaller maps and match durations working to its advantage, successfully combining the stealth and strategy elements fans have come to expect.”
Despite our praise, we also noticed the game’s lack of content at launch, which includes two modes and several maps. In some ways, this minimal offer works to Fox Hunt’s advantage, although the lack of a roadmap for the future is a bit concerning. Hopefully we’ll hear more from Konami soon.
