Volume 2 will be available for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Steam. The $49.99 price tag is valid for all platforms.
Pre-Orders, Physical and Digital Editions
Pre-orders are live for physical and digital versions.
Pre-Order Bonuses
The bonuses are a little on the light side, but this isn’t a brand-new release. Pre-order customers get Cardboard Camouflage uniform in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and the Love Cardboard/Love Box uniform in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
Konami’s own listing names that second item Uniform: LOVE BOX.
The Biggest Piece in the Collection
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the crown jewel. It was once exclusive to the PlayStation 3. It’s the game that captures Snake’s aging into the grizzled veteran.
Also Included
Where are the old school PSP fans? Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker in HD is also a part of the collection. This one is big for the Big Boss timeline.

The Last Bonus
The if-you-know-you-know inclusion is Metal Gear: Ghost Babel. It was originally on the Game Boy Color. It’s a nice addition for some Metal Gear fans who may not be familiar with the story.
This version adds screen filters, pixel-perfect display settings and a rewind function.
Lore and Reference Content
Konami is really trying to make this a love letter to its fans. The collection also includes the Metal Gear Solid 4 Database, which covers the lore spanning the original Metal Gear through MGS4. It also contains dedicated Screenplay Books and Master Books for both MGS4 and Peace Walker. That’s a lot of Metal Gear.
New Digital Soundtrack
Like Vol. 1, this one comes with its own soundtrack.
Loyalty Rewards
If you have save data from Vol. 1, you can unlock bonus items in both MGS4 and Peace Walker. Reporting on the announced bonus identifies those as gold camouflage for Snake in each game.
Konami lists them separately as Gold Camouflage in MGS4 and Uniform: GOLD in Peace Walker.
