Metal Gear Solid Master Collection File Sizes for MGS1, MGS2 and MGS3 Revealed on Xbox

Famitsu has released the latest weekly data for hardware and physical software sales in Japan, and Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 has debuted high in the charts. The collection occupies second and third place with its Switch and PS5 versions respectively, collectively having sold over 37,000 physical units at launch (over 19,000 on Switch, and over 13,000 on PS5).

In August, Konami announced that it would be celebrating the Metal Gear Solid series’ anniversary with a series of ports. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 would bring games that were previously unavailable on modern consoles and PC to a new generation of players. The collection, which was released on Oct. 24, has provided something more than that: It’s made games available that were otherwise inaccessible without older hardware, extremely expensive physical editions, or emulation. It allows players to own these games without fear of them being delisted or vanishing.

Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 is out today for the Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.

It took a modder just hours to make a tool that would render Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 at higher resolutions.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 1 is now available worldwide, and already fans are discussing the possibility of a second.

We were big fans of the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 in our review, mainly thanks to the enduring excellence of the included games. It’s no surprise that packing the brilliant Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (alongside Metal Gear Solid and the original NES Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake) into a single package is a recipe for success.

An unofficial mod has already been released for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 1 which lets players change the resolution for Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3.

Codec calls have become a hallmark of the Metal Gear Solid series since their introduction on the NES. In this case, there’s a specific solider named Meryl who likes to play keep away when it comes to her personal frequency.

It's a bad day for enjoyers of games with decent performance, as today's biggest new releases - Cities: Skylines 2 and the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection - are both getting pummeled on Steam for some serious technical limitations.

The first volume of the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection is finally out, and it collects Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Snake’s Revenge, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (plus extras). Naturally, a lot of Metal Gear diehards are ready for the next one: and we might know what a potential “volume 2” could entail!

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection is now rolling out, and naturally fans far and wide are excited to see how Konami has adapted the trophy and achievement list as part of the new remasters.

IGN has already reported on issues with the Nintendo Switch version of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1. Now it’s the PC version that’s come under fire.
