Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.2 launches August 27 on PS5
Includes MGS4, Peace Walker
Konami has announced Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.2 during the latest State of Play. The collection launches on August 27, 2026 for PS5 and is now available for pre-order on the PlayStation Store.
The package bundles three titles from the iconic stealth-action franchise: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel.
Each game includes a digital scenario book with full script text and a master book with detailed story and character insights. The digital edition also adds Metal Gear Solid: Digital Soundtrack Vol.2, featuring background music and vocal tracks from across Snake’s missions.
Three missions, one legacy
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots brings Solid Snake’s final chapter to PS5. Originally released on PS3, the game explores a world where private military companies dominate global conflict under Liquid Ocelot’s control. The PS5 version features improved internal resolution, higher maximum frame rates, and customizable button controls.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker follows Big Boss in 1974 as he leads an independent army in Costa Rica. The HD Collection version supports customizable controls, online co-op for two to four players, and Versus Ops for up to six players.
Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, the series’ first handheld title, joins the collection as part of the Bonus Content section. The Game Boy Color classic includes new features such as screen filters, pixel-perfect display options, a rewind function, and customizable controls.
Pre-order and save data bonuses
Players who pre-order will receive in-game bonuses for both MGS4 and Peace Walker. These include Cardboard Camouflage for MGS4 and the LOVE BOX uniform for Peace Walker.
Those with save data from the first collection will unlock additional items. Save data from Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 grants Gold Camouflage for MGS4 and the GOLD uniform for Peace Walker.
Konami also confirmed a final post-launch update for Vol.1, adding new visual improvements. Meanwhile, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and Vol.1 are currently discounted on the PlayStation Store for a limited time.

AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 now available for Radeon RX 7000 Series
Update drops earlier than expected, powering more than 300 supported games
PC and handheld gamers can officially skip the wait, as AMD has launched its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for Radeon RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) GPUs.
Computing and Graphics Group Senior Vice President and GM Jack Huynh made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). This development brings machine learning powered gaming to millions of players across more than 300 games.
By downloading the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, users can unlock the new AI upscaling suite on existing RX 7000 series desktop graphics cards.
(The driver can be downloaded here.)
The update drastically sharpens image reconstruction, delivers far superior temporal stability, and keeps motion ghosting to an absolute minimum. That’s across a massive library of supported titles.
Beyond optimized frame rates out of the gate for those two blockbusters, the release packs vital architecture stability improvements and bug fixes for the broader Radeon ecosystem.
Huynh added that AMD is actively engineering lightweight machine learning models to expand FSR 4.1 optimizations to a wider base of gamers. More details are to come.
Moreover, the driver for the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology will deliver day-one support for two highly anticipated releases: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations.
if you are wielding an RDNA 3 desktop rig or an RDNA 3-powered handheld, like the ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion GO, simply open up the AMD Software suite, get the update, and test the new AI tech.
