Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection just released its latest update, which is version 2.0.0. The patch can be downloaded for Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater.

Konami implemented various settings for other platforms including resolution and upscaling. However, these options are not available on Nintendo Switch.

Earlier this year, it was reported that James “Archbox” Williams was one of two people Nintendo was suing over Switch piracy. New details have now emerged about how Williams was tracked down, which involved repairs and Reddit.
Game File uncovered information about the case from court filings. Things begin in 2023 when Nintendo hired Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp to investigate online stores for pirated Switch games. That led to the discovery of Archbox, and based on Reddit postings including ones in the SwitchPirates and Phoenix communities, the law firm learned that he lived near Phoenix, Arizona and had attended Midwestern University.
