Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker have been delisted from the PS3 digital store following the announcement of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2. Although players can still view these titles, they are unable to purchase them, but existing owners can still access their copies. The new collection, set for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, includes these games along with Metal Gear Ghost Babel, marking the first time MGS4 is being ported to platforms other than the PS3. Konami has promised to retain key features from the PS3 version, although multiplayer functionality will not be included, a disappointment for fans of Metal Gear Online. The possibility of a full remake of MGS4 remains uncertain but not completely out of reach.
