The update includes improved save functionalities, corrections to an error displaying a "Damaged File" message when loading save data, and fixes to frame rate drops and issues with video playback. Additionally, problems such as audio desync in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater cutscenes and flickering on the Nintendo Switch have been addressed.

However, Konami has acknowledged that there are unresolved issues, including cutscenes stopping unexpectedly, incorrect display of elements such as the laser pointer effect and sea lice, and unsynchronized trophy unlocks on PlayStation 4. They have also mentioned issues with captured game clip audio not saving on Xbox Series X|S. The developer assures that they are investigating these issues, and updates will continue.
