Konami has published detailed technical specs for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, confirming resolution, storage requirements and frame-rate targets for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker across modern platforms.
The collection packages legacy entries—including the Game Boy Color bonus Metal Gear: Ghost Babel—with versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Steam, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
Metal Gear Solid 4 originally released for PlayStation 3 in 2008, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker debuted on PSP in 2010; this compilation brings both to current hardware with platform-specific scaling and options.
Konami's summary clarifies a major performance distinction between Nintendo platforms: the Switch 2 builds target 60 frames per second in both TV and handheld modes, while the original Nintendo Switch editions are capped at 30fps.
Konami also notes that actual performance may vary depending on in-game activity and, for PC, the user's hardware configuration.
