## Key points

- Metal Gear Solid 1 is free to play briefly on Steam.
- Players have three days to attempt the Big Boss rank.
- The challenge is especially difficult for newcomers.

## Summary

Steam has opened a three-day free-to-play period for Metal Gear Solid 1, giving players a brief chance to pursue the game’s highest Big Boss rating without buying it. The promotion is notable because the rank requires a highly controlled, efficient playthrough, making the short window particularly demanding for anyone unfamiliar with the game.

The offer applies to the original Metal Gear Solid release on Steam and is a temporary trial rather than a permanent giveaway. To secure Big Boss, players must complete the game while meeting strict performance conditions, so success depends on careful planning, speed and avoiding mistakes.
