What is Sniper Elite 5?

Set in 1944 France, this third-person tactical shooter follows marksman Karl Fairburne as he works with the French Resistance to uncover a secret Nazi project. Across large campaign missions, you scout routes, sneak past or eliminate soldiers, complete objectives, and account for wind, gravity, and heart rate when sniping. The campaign supports solo and co-op play, alongside competitive multiplayer and an invasion mode.

What players say

83% of 26,420 reviews are positive · 86% of 308 in the last 30 days

Players praise the open mission layouts, multiple routes, and satisfying sniping. Common complaints focus on stiff movement, invisible walls, inconsistent enemy AI, and missions that push silenced pistols or close-range stealth over long-range shooting. Some players also report crashes and object to campaign missions sold as DLC.
