Konami has made the original 1998 stealth classic Metal Gear Solid free to play on Steam for the weekend. The promotion arrives as the publisher gears up for the release of Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2 next month.
Quick Facts
- Platform: PC (via Steam)
- Current Offer: Free to play through the weekend
- Collection Price: Discounted to £24.99 / $29.99
- Included Content: The original PS1 game, Metal Gear Solid VR / Special Missions, Integral, and the Master Book with artwork and character bios
What's Included in the Master Collection Version
Players accessing the game through the Steam store page for the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Version will find more than just the base game. The package bundles the 1998 PlayStation 1 release alongside Metal Gear Solid VR / Special Missions and the Japanese release Integral.
Additionally, the collection includes digital bonus materials such as a full screenplay and a "Master Book" containing official artwork, character biographies, and a series timeline.
Discount Details
Alongside the free weekend, the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection has received its deepest Steam discount to date, dropping to £24.99 | $29.99. This matching price point has only appeared twice previously during past Steam Summer Sales.
Because the original game has a relatively short runtime, players taking advantage of the free weekend have enough time to complete the entire campaign and experience the title without charge before the promotion ends.
