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.

Playing through the 1st game now. It plays and feels fine to me. Plays like games of that Era honestly which I was used to growing up.
I'm not an achievement hunter but those PS trophies patch "fixed giving out trophies that you should have got the first time" followed by "no, you don't get the trophies you should have got, you have to play the game again" kinda hurts my gamer ego
Imagine fixing some old games that shouldn't need fixing to begin with. This was a terrible collection and all these fixing should had been done before the collection's release.
A turd polished in gold is still a turd
They might need to revise the “Issues Under Investigation” part…..
@NintendoByNature I completed it a few weeks back and really enjoyed revisting it after 25 years since ps1. I thought it was really quite a short game, when i played it back in the day the game seemed massive to me. Shows how times have moved on
@ozwally yea, I'm flying through even with dying alot. It's a fun experience for sure. I played a small bit of it 25 years ago myself at a neighbors but never got far. So it's all new to me this time around.
@NintendoByNature Enjoy it, its a great game!
This reads like specific updates for PS4 and XBOX, and for Switch just a general performance improvement (in other words, sweet FA for Switch)
@MattmanForever If you mean MGS2, maybe. MGS3 originally ran at 30 FPS. Some effects broke at 60 FPS.
I wonder if the audio got fixed.
Lazy, lazy.
I'll pay for them when they are worth it.
Too many great games to play.
Let me know when they fix the issue with having to own part of the collection just to play Metal Gear (NES) and Snake's Revenge.
@MeloMan But then, why would you play those two? They're awful.
@MattmanForever Yeah. However, as said before, this had some negative effects as well.
