SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Confrontation is a multiplayer tactical shooter video game developed by Slant Six Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for PlayStation 3. Confrontation came packaged with the PlayStation 3 Bluetooth headset or as a standalone game, and also released as a downloadable title from PlayStation Network.[2] The player is able to customize their character, choosing from a list of predefined items.

Online multiplayer servers were originally shut down on January 28, 2014, along with the servers for SOCOM 4 U.S. Navy SEALs.[3] In 2021, fans working to reverse engineer servers for defunct games made online play for the game possible again through private servers.[4]
