Metal Gear Solid Update Makes the Master Collection Fully Steam Deck Compatible

For Solid metal gear fans playing on the Steam Deck, the Master Collection Volume 1 is said to now be fully compatible with the device. This is thanks to a new patch that will be deployed today.

Bonus content is also now supported

According to the Japanese Metal Gear Solid X account, version 1.4.1 will bring some changes to some games. This will notably have an effect on MGS2, MGS3 and bonus content.

The post goes on to say that the original Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, and 1998's MGS1 were “already playable on Steam Deck.” However, the new update suggests that the entire collection will now be adapted for Valve's portable PC.

At the time of writing this article, the Master Collection is showing as “playable” on the Deck. Once the patch rollout begins, this may change, but it may not be set to “verified.”

For those who are unsure, a game that works on the Steam Deck but may be missing some features or has issues is considered playable. Conversely, anything that has been judged to work perfectly without any problems is classified as verified.

Master Collection Volume 1 Solid metal gear was released in October 2023. It contains the first two installments of the series at the time, as well as the three games from the Solid part of the series.

At the time of writing, the game has an overall Steam score of “mixed”, although recent scores show it as “mostly positive”. It's possible that the new update will garner more positive feedback if additional bugs have been fixed.
