Overview
- Digital purchase options for Metal Gear Solid 4 on PS3 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on PSP and in its HD release were pulled from PS3, PSP, and Xbox storefronts without prior warning.
- Players who already own these titles can still download and play them, but new purchases are disabled on those legacy stores.
- Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 launches August 27, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo platforms, bundling MGS4, Peace Walker, and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel.
- Konami confirmed MGS4’s PS5 port will exclude Metal Gear Online while Peace Walker’s co‑op and online versus modes will be included; Assassin’s Creed crossover elements return in MGS4.
- The quiet delistings drew criticism from fans, and Xbox One users lose a current digital path to Peace Walker as outlets watch for clarity on any licensed content changes in the new releases.
