The shift from Konami’s proprietary Fox Engine to Unreal Engine 5 is a significant factor influencing these requirements.

In addition to the technical specifications, Konami has announced platform-specific content for the game.
The PlayStation 5 and PC versions will reintroduce the beloved “Snake vs. Monkey” minigame, featuring characters from Sony’s Ape Escape series.
Conversely, the Xbox Series X/S version will offer a unique Bomberman-themed minigame, replacing the Ape Escape content due to licensing considerations.

- Standard Edition: Includes the base game.
- Digital Deluxe Edition: Offers additional in-game content and early access starting two days before the official release. store.steampowered.com
