Companion apps — loved by all, right? Maybe not, but at any rate, Konami is rolling one out for The Phantom Pain.

The newly-announced companion app will work as a second screen for Snake’s iDroid and allows map access and music control.

The app is not compatible with Windows PC or Xbox 360 versions of the game.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be available from 1 September on Windows PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4. We previewed it here.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
