Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eaterwill see its first-ever release on PC thanks to the upcoming release of the series’ Master Collection, freshly confirmed for a Steam release this autumn.
While Konami stayed schtum at the time about what platforms the collection - which includes the first free games inspace fan Hideo Kojima’s beloved stealth-action series, as well as their two earlier predecessors inMetal Gearand Snake’s Revenge - would be headed to, the publisher’s latest trailer has now confirmed that the Master Collection will hit Steam alongside consoles on October 24th.

As well as the HD-ified versions of MGS1-3 last released as the HD Collection on PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2011, the first volume in the Master Collection will also include MGS1 spin-off/expansion Special Missions (or VR Missions for those of you outside the PAL region) and some fun guff for fans, such as digital graphic novels based on MGS1 and 2, the MGS soundtrack and screenplay book/master books for the three core games, whatever that means.
Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2 were most recentlyre-released for PC via GOG in 2020, before being suddenlyyanked from saleover use of historical footage in MGS2’s cutscenes. This Master Collection will mark their return after almost two years off digital shelves.

The whole “Volume 1” bit implies a second Master Collection at some point in the future, too, although there’s no indication of what that might include. The HD Collection also packed in PSP prequel Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and obviously MGSV’s Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain are already on PC.
Could this mean that Metal Gear Solid 4 finally escape the prison of the PlayStation 3, having never been released anywhere else since 2008? Only time will tell - but at least we can feed on a tree frog while we wait.
