Konami announced that Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 are now Steam Deck verified. Additionally, the Bonus Content of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 is now compatible with Steam Deck as well.
The latest Ver.1.4.1 and Ver.1.4.1D title updates appeared on Steam on January 29, 2024. The update seems to fix some of the issues that appeared when playing on Valve’s handheld gaming computer. However, it is unclear what changes players can expect.
The brief patch notes provided by Konami only confirmed Steam Deck support for Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, and the SteamDB website for MGS2 and MGS3 states the same. SteamDB also informs of fixes to some minor issues and issues related to playing with keyboard and mouse configuration.
As for the original Metal Gear Solid, the Steam page for the game informs that the game has the “playable” status instead of verified. However, the only caveat present in this title results from some in-game text being small, which could make it difficult to read on the Steam Deck display.
Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 is immediately available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 are part of the collection, and each game can be acquired individually on Steam.
