As someone who’s spent countless hours immersed in the world of gaming, I must say that this update is a game-changer! The ability to customize visual settings based on personal hardware specifications truly enhances the overall gaming experience.


Recently, Konami rolled out the Version 2.0.0 update for the console editions of the “Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1.” This update introduces several new features such as boosted resolution and compatibility with 4K. Launched in October 2023, this collection brings together the first three Metal Gear Solid games, Metal Gear, and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake under one roof. However, it’s important to note that some issues have been reported by players who have been enjoying this compilation package.

Certain problems found in this game include inconsistent graphics, numerous glitches, and limited customization options, among others. However, Konami has been addressing these issues by releasing post-launch updates for the game. The first significant update for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection, version 1.5.0, was rolled out across all platforms in March 2024, fixing problems like unresponsive controls and a bug that caused the game to crash during specific cutscenes. The second major update, version 2.0.0, was announced in September and later made available on Steam, enhancing its visual aspects with further updates planned for other consoles at a later time. As of now, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection version 2.0.0 is accessible on all platforms.

The update version 2.0.0 for the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection has been rolled out across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. In addition, Konami has provided a breakdown of the new features supported by each platform. This upgrade introduces resolution options, enhanced graphics, and customizable controller settings for many platforms, with a maximum internal scaling of 4K on certain consoles depending on their capabilities.

As a dedicated fan, I’m excited to share that some enhancements have been made specifically for “Sons of Liberty” and “Snake Eater,” giving us more control over our gaming experience. These improvements include adjustable screen settings, which can be found in the options menus, and enhanced textures for better legibility in certain areas. Plus, players now have the freedom to customize their controller settings according to their preference.

Konami has announced that they are developing “Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2”, but have mentioned it will take some time before progress can be made, as they haven’t found a suitable starting point for the second volume yet. The producer of the Metal Gear series, Noriaki Okamura, expressed his desire to ensure the launch of the second collection avoids the issues that arose with the first one.
