This now males every title in the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection playable on the Xbox One as Peace Walker was made backwards compatible back in March. The announcement is welcoming news for Xbox gamers who are fans of the series since Konami has no plans of re-releasing any Metal Gear titles on the Xbox One.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater were both originally released for the PlayStation 2 before being remastered for the Seventh Generation consoles. Both titles have been praised by critics while Snake Eater has been hailed for having one of the best stories in gaming.
