Another week, another update for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1.

The latest patch bumps things up to ver. 1.3.1 which doesn't seem to be all that big of an upgrade on Switch. The tweaks listed below cover those made on all consoles, and the eagle-eyed readers out there might just notice that only one point applies directly to Switch — "Fixed some minor issues and made additional adjustments" in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.

Hardly the biggest day for Switch owners (and still no sign of that 60fps boost that we'd all love to see), but the collection continues to be improved, all the same. Once again, Konami has also listed a number of issues that are currently under investigation, so that's something to keep an eye out for in future patches.

The following patch notes were published on the official Konami website, and we have pulled them together for you to check out below.
