Unlike previous franchise installments, The Phantom Pain focuses on non-linear gameplay progression spread across two primary open world environments while adding a variety of tactical options to support Snake's operations in the field. The Phantom Pain refines several mechanics introduced in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, including the Fulton Extraction System for "recruiting" subdued enemies and transporting materiel, and a base of operations known as Mother Base used for managing resources as well as researching new equipment and upgrades. Phantom Pain's gameplay and graphics engine were later reused for the 2018 survival-focused spin-off title Metal Gear Survive. The Phantom Pain was bundled together with Ground Zeroes and all DLC as Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience in late 2016 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. After leaving Konami, Kojima would go on to establish a new independent studio with the same name in 2015.
Unlike prior Metal Gear titles from the same team, Kojima Productions' logo and branding is absent from promotional materials and packaging for the final game. Several months before the game's release, Konami began a major restructuring of its games division, ultimately leading to Kojima Productions being treated more as a contractor rather than an internal studio.

The Phantom Pain is notable as the final game in the series with involvement from series creator Hideo Kojima and his Kojima Productions team. In addition to its single-player campaign, the game includes two player-vs-player multiplayer modes, as well as optional microtransactions and other paid downloadable content.

Players can also upgrade Diamond Dogs' new " Mother Base" in a fashion similar to Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, allowing them to develop new weapons and items. Stealth is a major component of gameplay, but often optional thanks to Snake's arsenal of combat gear. Similar to its standalone prologue Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Phantom Pain focuses on executing mission objectives in open world environments set in both Soviet-occupied Afghanistan and the Angola-Zaire border region of central Africa, complete with dynamic weather and day-night systems. With help from his old business partner Kazuhira Miller and rival-turned-ally Revolver Ocelot, Snake must rebuild his mercenary army (now called "Diamond Dogs") while plotting revenge against the shadowy organization " Cipher," as well as its XOF paramilitary unit led by the enigmatic Skull Face. The tenth and final main installment of the Metal Gear series, Phantom Pain follows legendary mercenary Big Boss (now known by his codename "Venom Snake") as he awakens in 1984 from a nine-year coma following the destruction of his private military company " Militaires Sans Frontières".
