On October twenty fourth, 2023, Konami can be releasing METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol 1., a compilation of a number of Steel Gear and Steel Gear Strong titles, however there’s additionally a veritable treasure trove of bonus supplies included within the package deal. On this video, I’ll be detailing the methods you should purchase these titles bodily and digitally, along with clarifying every part that’s bundled for every configuration.

These desirous to go bodily with their Swap video games can be dissatisfied (however maybe not stunned) to be taught that the retail boxed model of METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol 1. comes with some hefty required downloads. In actual fact, it will seem that not one of the video games from the package deal are literally playable on the cart with out a obtain. Stand by for some specifics on obtain sizes:
