MGS5 companion app takes the (phantom) pain out of the big world & even bigger story

Want all the 80s anthems of MGS 5 in your ears while you plan your stealthy method of attack from your mobile? Of course you do and that's just what the MGS 5 companion app is for.

Announced on the Konami blog alongside today's new Kojima directed MGS 5 trailer, the companion app will hook you up to Snake's iDroid device and view the in game map as you play. It'll be available to work with the PS4, PS3 and Xbox One versions of the game. Wonder what PC and Xbox 360 did wrong?
