Metal Gear Solid 4 arrives on modern consoles after 18 years

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is making its debut on current-generation consoles after 18 years of PlayStation 3 exclusivity. Originally released in 2008 and directed by Hideo Kojima, the title serves as a narrative conclusion to the story of Solid Snake and various conflicts within the Metal Gear saga.

The game's arrival on modern systems is facilitated through the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2. This release allows players to experience the cinematic storytelling and stealth mechanics, such as the OctoCamo suit, without requiring original PlayStation 3 hardware. The title was previously noted for its high critical acclaim, including a rare 10/10 score from Game Informer.
