Good news for MGS fans: the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots remaster, arriving this August as part of Master Collection Vol. 2, is keeping its iconic real-world brand partnerships and meta humor. Recent gameplay footage confirms that famous in-jokes and branded items—like the in-game iPod and Regain energy drinks—will make the jump to modern hardware.
The remaster boasts significantly sharper textures, with previously blurry details now crystal clear, and swaps the original’s divisive “piss filter” yellow tint for a more natural, modern look. The collection launches on August 27, 2026, for PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
