Konami has announced a new Metal Gear Solid collection bringing MGS 4 and the PS3 HD version of Peace Walker to PC, marking a significant milestone for long-awaited PC ports. While this release is exciting for many, it notably excludes *Metal Gear Online* (MGO), the multiplayer spin-off that originally came with MGS 4. However, fans can look forward to co-op missions and versus ops modes from *Peace Walker*, offering a taste of the collaborative gameplay that made the series beloved.
The omission of MGO isn’t entirely surprising, as its servers shut down over a decade ago. While this might dishearten die-hard fans craving the multiplayer experience, the collection compensates with *Peace Walker*’s cooperative missions and competitive modes, though cross-play between PC and other platforms remains absent.

This release is particularly significant for fans who have been waiting years for these titles to hit PC natively. It also caters to a growing trend of retro gaming enthusiasts and those seeking affordable entry into the series without investing in older consoles. The collection’s availability on multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, ensures broader accessibility while maintaining Konami’s commitment to bringing iconic franchises to modern
