Sniper Elite 5 is a single and multiplayer stealth, third and first person shooter in the Sniper Elite series. It was developed and published by Rebellion Developments. It features a campaign fully playable in both singleplayer and co-op, and also an invasion feature where another player can take the role of an Axis sniper to try and kill the host (and co-op partner).
Sniper Elite 5 released on Steam and Microsoft Store (as a Game Pass title) on May 26, 2022. It was also meant to release on the Epic Games Store on the same date, but was pulled from sale and all pre-orders refunded before release for unknown reasons.[1]
Issues with Easy Anti-Cheat can cause the game to fail to launch several times in a row. EAC can be uninstalled/disabled in the launcher settings to avoid these problems, but must be installed to play multiplayer.
