Here’s How Much Better Metal Gear Solid 4 Looks on PS5
Konami has confirmed the technical specifications for Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker ahead of their release on PS5 as part of the Master Collection Vol. 2 next month. The updates are best described as enhanced ports rather than full remasters, but they still bring meaningful improvements, particularly for visuals and frame rate stability, which will be welcomed by longtime fans revisiting the PS3-era classics on modern hardware.
Metal Gear Solid 4 will run at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second on both base PS5 and PS5 Pro, a notable jump given the original PS3 version topped out at 1080p with inconsistent frame rates. Peace Walker will offer several visual options, including Original, Adjusted, High Resolution and Custom modes, with the clearest gains seen in its hand-drawn cutscenes, which appear sharper and less blurry in High Resolution Mode. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 launches on PS5 on 27th August 2026, also bundling bonus digital content and the Game Boy Color title Metal Gear: Ghost Babel.
In short
- MGS4 and Peace Walker get 4K/60fps on PS5 next month
- Peace Walker's cutscenes see the biggest visual upgrade
- Master Collection Vol. 2 releases 27th August 2026 with bonus content
Explained simply
Metal Gear Solid is a long-running series of games about espionage and military conflicts, created by Hideo Kojima. Metal Gear Solid 4 follows Solid Snake, a veteran soldier, in a story set in a world where private armies and advanced weapons shape warfare.
Metal Gear Solid 4 first came out on PlayStation 3, whose hardware differs from today’s consoles. Peace Walker is another game in the series, originally released for the PlayStation Portable; its cutscenes use hand-drawn art. The Master Collection brings older entries together for newer platforms, making technical updates relevant to players revisiting them.
