Metal Gear fans are likely busy working their way through the recent Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake, but those looking to add a unique piece to their Metal Gear merch collection back at Mother Base should take a quick detour to procure the official Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain strategy guide.

This a cool piece of official merch for the final game in the Metal Gear series--though if you haven't played the game it's based on yet, you can also grab The Phantom Pain and its standalone prequel chapter, Ground Zeroes, for just $23 on PlayStation or PC with the Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience.

Forza Horizon 5, for example, has sold millions of copies.
"It feels like every competitor wants to be in the fried chicken space, including our sister brands. So it is the place to be," Catherine Tan-Gillespie said. "But, like many legacy and incumbent brands, we've kind of lost a bit of ground - we hadn't lost our grit, but we had lost a bit of ground."
