Summary
Thanks to an outpouring of requests from fans, developer and publisher Konami has just announced that theMetal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol 1will also be released for the PS4 when it launches this October. The stealth-action series has been disappointing for many fans lately with some arguing thatMetal Gear Solid Survivewas a nail in the coffin ofMetal Gear Solid 6. Still, the classics of the series are still beloved by gamers, and now they’ll soon be returning for a new generation to enjoy.
Originally expected to include 3 titles, it has now been revealed that the first volume of theMetal Gear Solid MasterCollectionwill feature 5 games, taking players from the birth of the franchise toMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

In a recent tweet from the official account for theMetal Gear Solid Collection Vol 1, Konami announced that the games will also be coming to the PS4 at launch. The message explained that this was in response to pleas “received from fans worldwide.” It seems that, while lots of fans have updated to newer consoles, there are still plenty of gamers on the PS4 that want to get in on the fun.
The originalMetal Gear Solidmade its debut on the PS1 back in 1998, so it’s fitting that another PlayStation console is also being honored with a release of the new collection. Further, as theMetal Gear Solid Collectionhas an annoying issue on Steam, some players will likely be glad to see it made available on another console. While this release will be limited to digital download only, its availability at all should merit celebration from plenty of PlayStation fans.
Whether they want to grab the whole collection at once orbuy theMetal Gear Solid Master Collectiongames separately, gamers will now have one more option for how they’ll play the series when it launches in October. The inclusion of the PS4 speaks to the influence of the fan base and Konami’s apparent eagerness to give players what they want. TheMetal Gear Solidfranchise may be having some trouble in recent years, but the classics are still keeping the series alive in the hearts of fans.
Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol 1releases will release on October 24 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X/S.
