Nintendo Life has reviewed Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 on Switch 2, a follow-up compilation featuring Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and the non-canon Game Boy Color title Ghost Babel. The collection continues the remastering work started with Vol. 1 in 2023, and the review finds it a worthy successor, with MGS4 and Peace Walker both considered essential for fans of the earlier games thanks to their story and gameplay respectively.

Each game arrives as its own dedicated app, with Ghost Babel oddly housed in a separate "Bonus Content" app alongside Master Books, a screenplay, and an extensive MGS4 database featuring hyperlinked character, location and timeline entries. The reviewer praises Konami for successfully removing MGS4's original PlayStation 3 hardware references, allowing it to run convincingly on Switch 2, and highlights Peace Walker as especially suited to handheld play, offering extensive content including missions, base management and online multiplayer. Ghost Babel, though non-canon, is noted as a well-regarded curiosity blending the style of the original MSX games with the first PS1 Metal Gear Solid.
