## Key points

- Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 wins August 2026 Game of the Month
- Nearly 700 votes cast across 14 competing PS5 games
- MGS4's PS5 debut, finally free of PS3, drove its win

## Summary

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 has been crowned Push Square's PS5 Game of the Month for August 2026, winning readers' votes despite strong competition from several other high-profile releases. The victory is notable because Metal Gear Solid 4 has long been locked to PS3, so its inclusion in the collection alongside Peace Walker, running smoothly on PS5, proved a decisive draw for series fans.

Nearly 700 votes were cast across 14 different PS5 titles in what had been billed as a tightly contested month with no single dominant blockbuster. Other contenders included Mortal Shell 2, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, Star Wars Zero Company and the critically praised fighting game Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, while the indie hit Big Walk also drew attention after launching directly on PS Plus. Ultimately, though, the enduring appeal of Metal Gear Solid 4 and Peace Walker, finally freed from PS3 exclusivity, saw Master Collection Vol. 2 take the top spot.
