Get ready to dive back into the world of tactical espionage action—Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 has been officially announced, and it’s coming to PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, Switch, and PC (via Steam) on August 27. But here’s where it gets exciting: this collection isn’t just a rehash of old favorites—it’s a treasure trove for both longtime fans and newcomers alike. Konami has packed it with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (its first-ever port!) and the HD Collection version of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, alongside some unexpected bonuses that will make any Metal Gear enthusiast’s heart race.
But here’s where it gets controversial... While the inclusion of Metal Gear Solid 4 is a dream come true for many, some fans are already debating whether this port will live up to the original’s legacy. After all, the PS3 version was a technical marvel for its time—can it truly shine on modern hardware? And this is the part most people miss: the collection also includes Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, the series’ first handheld game, which rarely gets the spotlight it deserves. Is this a nostalgic nod or a missed opportunity to include more mainline titles? Let’s discuss in the comments!
Here’s a breakdown of what’s included, straight from Konami:
About the Collection
This second volume is a celebration of Metal Gear’s evolution, blending console and handheld history. Alongside MGS4 and Peace Walker HD, you’ll get Ghost Babel and a digital soundtrack as purchase bonuses. It’s a deep dive into Hideo Kojima’s visionary saga, but with a twist—Peace Walker HD supports online multiplayer for up to six players, a feature that’s sure to reignite competitive stealth battles.
Game List
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Digital Extras
Konami didn’t stop at games—they’ve included a wealth of digital content accessible via the in-game Start Menu. Think screenplay books, master guides, and a dedicated sound player for the Digital Soundtrack Vol. 2. It’s a collector’s dream, but here’s the bold question: Is this enough to justify the price tag, or should Konami have included more unreleased content? Share your thoughts below!
Regional Note: Different versions of MGS4 will be available for separate download, depending on your region. And yes, that soundtrack player? It’s a game-changer for fans who live and breathe Metal Gear’s iconic tunes.
