Konami, which has recently begun to regain the trust of players, has made a noticeable image blunder.
Without warning, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD disappeared from the PlayStation Store on PS3 and PSP. The possibility of an official purchase is closed.
The reason seems obvious. The removal is related to the preparation for the release of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, which will be released on August 27, 2026 on PS5 and other modern platforms. The collection will include updated ports of these games.
The problem is that there is still a lot of time before the release of the collection, and Konami did not warn players about the termination of sales of the originals. This step usually causes controversy.
Those who have already purchased the games can still download them from their library. New buyers are deprived of the opportunity to purchase them on older consoles.
