Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is basically the prologue to Phantom Pain and will be available this spring. Ground Zeroes will be available for $20 as a download on Xbox 360 or $30 for download on Xbox One and as a retail copy for Xbox 360. A price for the Xbox One retail version has not been stated.
Ground Zeroes is the introduction to open-world of Phantom Pain. It specifically follows Big Boss as he infiltrates a prison, with Phantom Pain picking up where Ground Zeroes leaves off.
