While Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake was officially announced last night during the PlayStation Showcase, fans of the Metal Gear Solid franchise are eager to find out if the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection will also be available on Xbox. As of now, the official announcement only mentions the game’s release on PlayStation, leaving Xbox gamers in the dark. However, there are reasons to believe that the game could also be available on “the latest platforms”, according to the official website.
The classic Solid Snake collection soon on Xbox?
The Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection, which includes remastered versions of several iconic games in the series, has generated great interest among Metal Gear Solid fans. The initial announcement was made highlighting the game’s release on PlayStation, leaving Xbox owners with questions about whether to play this long-awaited collection.
However, an element of hope lies in the description of the game on the official site. Although the site explicitly mentions the release of the game on PlayStation, it also mentions the availability of the game on “the latest platforms”. This wording hints that an Xbox release might be possible, though this hasn’t been explicitly confirmed.
Fans of the franchise have since expressed their excitement and hope for the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection coming to Xbox. Social media ignited with talk of the possibility of a cross-platform release, with some pointing to the series’ popularity and demand from Xbox gamers.
It should be noted that Konami, the publisher of the Metal Gear Solid franchise, has yet to make an official statement regarding an Xbox release. Fans will therefore have to wait until more information is released.
If the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection were to be released on Xbox, it would open up new opportunities for Microsoft console players to (re)discover the legendary games in the series. The collection would notably include Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
